The big review: 2000trees festival 2023
If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for one of the best weekends of the festival calendar as an army of alternative’s brightest lights descend on Upcote Farm for 2000trees…
Listen to Hundred Reasons’ epic new single Glorious Sunset, taken from their upcoming album of the same name.
Hundred Reasons have returned with a brilliant new single, and news of their first new album in 15 years.
Both are called Glorious Sunset, with the single out now (listen below) and the record due out on February 24, 2023 via SO Recordings.
Says vocalist Colin Doran of the band’s return and how new music initially came about: “When we started writing again it was really important that we did not go back to any material that had been cut previously. It all had to be completely new. We started writing just before COVID and got together sporadically as and when we could to write and demo which was not our usual way. We would normally be in a room together for the most part but this time it was not always possible. Larry and I would write, then Andy and Larry would write and then I would join the session later in the day – I have a day job – but we were all super happy with what was coming out. This was a deal breaker for all as if we were putting out new material it had to be amazing.”
He adds: “This album isn’t something we felt we had to do. We simply arrived at a position where the music was so good that it was something we needed to do.”
