14th December 2020
Debut album releases are not best-suited for pandemics. The releases ought to be celebrated out on the road, scrambling from city to city for in-store gigs and signings, or at the live shows and festivals in the ensuing months. More than ever, a release-week boost is crucial to supporting emerging artists and establishing a career.
This lot have been creative, though. They’ve spun the situation into positives with live-streamed gigs, virtual record signings and listening parties on social media to celebrate the fruits of their labour. And they deserve to be celebrated.
