Dublin quintet September Girls return with their new album Age of Indignation, a title that succinctly sums up its inherent anger and restless dissatisfaction. The ten tracks bristle with atmospheric textures and dark-hearted noise, tackling subject matter such as feminism, religion and life in Ireland at this point in history along the way. The band head to SXSW in March and embark on a UK/IRL tour in April and May.

Age of Indignation will launch on Friday 15th April at the Grand Social in Dublin.
Joining them on the night will be the excellent Fierce Mild and Spines.

Age of Indignation follows September Girls’ debut Cursing the Sea (2014), an album that enjoyed considerable critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, The Fly, NME, The Sunday Times, The Observer and Uncut amongst others, with Time Magazine naming them as one of the 11 best new bands in the world. Since then the band have played slots at SXSW and CMJ as well as UK festivals such as Beacons, Great Escape, and Liverpool Psych Fest, not to mention a mobbed show in Berwick Street for Record Store Day. In late 2014 the band released a four-track EP Veneer, building on the foundations of Cursing the Sea and anticipating Age of Indignation, as they headed down a darker path.

Lead single “Love No One” comments on the vacuousness of modern society, mourning a narcissist’s inability to see true beauty. The video for the track , directed by the bands own Jessie Ward O’Sullivan, was premiered via Brooklyn Vegan and sees September Girls step into the shoes of powerful female figures inspired by Irish mythology. With a nod to visual directors such as Jodorowsky and Argento, the lighting and production design create an atmospheric realm suited to the densely layered track.

As opposed to their debut album, which was recorded mainly at home, Age of Indignation was recorded at Dublin’s Orphan Studios, lending it a more assured, powerful sound. Brutally honest and brilliantly realised, Age of Indignation is a masterful album from a band confident enough to leave their influences behind. Still retaining the swirling psychedelia and intensity of their debut, this time round they are tighter and more controlled, whilst underneath something much darker and urgent is at work. This is music at its most riveting and atmospheric.
