The Answer have released a stream teasing every track on their upcoming sixth album Solas.
The Irish band will release Solas on October 28 via Napalm Records and previously issued a stream of the track Beautiful World. A snippet of every track on the record can be heard below.
Guitarist Paul Mahon previously said the band had to approach the writing process differently for the follow-up to 2015’s Raise A Little Hell as they were struggling to find inspiration.
He said: “We initially sat there looking blankly at each other. It was certainly disconcerting to move away from our traditional approach but we had to embrace a new process.
“We didn’t want to limit ourselves and as well as exploring our Celtic roots, we wanted to explore roots music in a broader sense. There may have been some conscious resistance at first but it felt we were being guided down a much more atmospheric, surreal and cinematic path and I think that is reflected in the final album.”
The band will head out on a 30-date European tour next month in support of the album.
