Glasgow indie specialists Declan Welsh & The Decadent West announce eagerly anticipated second record 2, arriving October 27th via Frictionless Music.

Recorded between Los Angeles and Glasgow throughout the previous twelve months, the bands upcoming LP offers a distinct shift from the taut alternative rock that saw them gather a fervent fan base across Scotland, the rest of the UK, Europe and the Americas signalling a band with ambitions far beyond what theyve already achieved.

Encapsulating a band with expanded horizons, harnessing a broad scope of influence from In Rainbows era Radiohead, to the New Romantic electronic soaked music of the 1980s, the album was written and demoed entirely from Welshs bedroom and showcases their natural transition in sound, whilst retaining the acerbic lyricism and melodic focus present on their earlier work.

Detailing their newest effort, Welsh explained: The lyrics are about kidding yourself that youre in control. Im the King of My Head, tell me who would rule instead? Cos see when your heads working against you, you think to yourself sometimes this is me. Im doing this. I can stop this. I can think my way out of feeling this way. But the tool you have to fix the problem is the same one that causes it. Like fixing a hole in the wall with a hammer.
