Alt-rock group The Altered Hours explore the power of the present for their first release since 2018's On My Tongue EP.
Irish post-punk band The Altered Hours have followed up the release of their latest single, ‘All Amnesia,’ with an accompanying music video today.
The emerging band recently signed to Pizza Pizza Records, an independent artist led record label based in Dundalk.
'All Amnesia,' is the Cork group’s first single since 2017’s ‘Open Wide,’ and was released on the 21st of April. Bursting with energy, offering from the ever-evolving outfit is the beginning of a new chapter. Sharing their debut album In Heat Not Sorry back in 2016, they carved out a name for themselves after recording the project in Berlin.
The video features a '70s style filter and captures the five-piece in nature with abstract shots and close ups of the band members.
The Altered Hours - who toured with Fontaine’s D.C. before the pandemic - said the lyrics, “represent what it means to forget the past and to be guided only by the desire of the moment.”

"It speaks to the idea that forgetting or suppressing history can lead to erasure of the future and how unwillingness to face our reality leaves us floating in a hedonistic present," Elaine Howley added.
