Hungry Kids of Hungary will release their second album in February, 2013.
The new album has been anointed ‘You’re A Shadow’.
Talking about the album singer Dean McGrath said, “’You’re A Shadow’ was for us to challenge ourselves, and I think the result of that challenge is a record that’s an anomaly of sorts. The songs are more forward-thinking but the production approach is more steeped in the traditions of the classic records from the 60s that we’ve grown up with. The arrangements are leaner and meaner, but it’s all been captured in a way that it sounds bigger than anything we’ve done before. We knew from the beginning we wanted to create something more bold, raw and ambitious than we’ve done before.”
The album was recorded at Albert Studios in Sydney with producer Wayne Connelly (You Am I, The Vines, Silverchair). “Wayne Connolly understood our vision and helped bring it to life… I don’t think there’s another producer who could’ve pulled it off so accurately and with so little fuss. For me personally, these songs chronicle some of the most tumultuous experiences I’ve endured on a personal level, but the making of the record couldn’t have been more fun or rewarding,” Dean said.
EMI will release ‘You’re A Shadow’ on Stop Start on Februaru 22, 2013.
