The group is comprised of two Irish-born men who met in Liverpool. While in England, they were surrounded by many musicians who often collaborated late into the night but it was always Leech and McCausland that seemed to have a connection that was different from the others. This connection led to creating this band that have taken them across the world touring and showcasing their five studio albums. They can add another album to that list starting February 7th with the release of “After The Fire After The Rain.”
With the release still a few weeks away, fans can listen to their newest single ‘After The Fire,’ their second single to come from their newest project. The song was recorded at Strange Weather Studios in Brooklyn, where all the pieces came together.
“Without getting too preachy there’s also a dream prophecy in this song and a warning that we’ve got to mind our beautiful planet- mind each other and mind ourselves- in that sense it’s nothing more than just another love song,” Leech added.
The single also features some well-known musicians including M ward and Howe Gelb on electric guitars and Tony Garnier, Bob Dylan’s long time band leader, playing on upright bass. Co-producer Daniel Schlett (War On Drugs) is also featured playing a Jupiter 8 synth. Leech said that having Garnier and Schlett coming to play on the songs was special and that “he and Daniel (Schlett) make a really great production team.”
As The Lost Brothers take on 2020, they will do so with a plethora of new music to play as they go on their spring tour at venues like Vicar Street Dublin on March 21st and London’s Southbank Centre on March 3rd. They will also be announcing a USA tour in the coming days.
