The View announce new album ‘Exorcism Of Youth’ and UK shows
The View have announced their new album ‘Exorcism Of Youth’ along with plans for a pair of UK shows this May.The new record is out June 9 via Cooking Vinyl and will be the first from the indie rockers’ in eight years, having spent five years apart before reconvening in 2022 – you can pre-order/pre-save it here.The first taste of ‘Exorcism Of Youth’ arrives in the shape of lead single ‘Feels Like’, which frontman Kyle Falconer described as “anthemic from the get go”.“Even though under the surface it’s about somewhere everyone’s been in their life before: regret of losing someone amazing due to your inner demons and seeing them moving on with their life, when you’re stuck in a ‘nightmare not a dream,’” he explained in a statement.“When I first sat down to write it I had Holden Caulfield from ‘Catcher in the Rye’ in mind. It’s playing out in his mind and it’s his own paranoia destroying him from the inside out when in reality she’s the perfect woman.”Listen to ‘Feels Like’ below.Alongside the album announcement, The View have shared details of two shows this May at Manchester’s Deaf Institute (10) and London’s Oslo (11), their first shows in both cities since 2017.
