Stream: The Altered Hours – Silver Leather

Altered Hours photo 3 (002)

Unveiled with a string of European dates for Spring – including a Belfast show hosted by yours truly on Friday, February 26 – Cork five-piece The Altered Hours will release their hugely anticipated debut album, In Heat Not Sorry, via Art For Blind and Penske Recording on January 29. The second single to be taken from that, five-minute cut ‘Silver Leather’ reveals the more rapt and ruminative side to the band, evincing a woozy netherworld full of brilliant restraint and shoegaze-leaning dark psych wonder.
