The release marks the third LP from the Dublin based 6-piece
Dublin indie rockers Silverbacks have announced their new album, Easy Being a Winner, set to be released on October 18.
The group also released the single ‘Something I Know' as well as an accompanying video today, following the release of the album's first single ‘Selling Shovels’ in July.
Speaking on the release, lyricist and guitarist Kilian O’Kelly said the song “Tells the story of a religious person who’s at a crossroads in their life.”
“They have fallen in love with someone but also remain committed to their faith-a very common story from the past,” he said.
The song was recorded by the 6-piece in Stoneybatter’s Sonic Studio, and features a contribution by O’Kelly’s father, John, who supplies clarinet drones and a spoken word sermon at the end of the track.
