After the release of their critically acclaimed eponymous debut album, The Dying Seconds spent 2009 earning their live chops gigging around Ireland and the UK, during which time the band evolved from a two-men-and-their-laptops situation into a bombastic six-piece with trumpets, strings, synths, singing, guitars and lots and lots of drums! Partially recorded in a factory and a church, the resulting second album is a maelstrom of joyful melancholy.
