Following a breakthrough 2016, which saw them sell out London’s Scala, fill tents at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds and Latitude, ink a US deal with Canvasback/Atlantic, release a run of critically acclaimed singles and be announced as support for Two Door Cinema Club’s entire 2017 EU tour, Blaenavon are pleased to share news of their long awaited debut album, That’s Your Lot – alongside the music video for brand new single, ‘Orthodox Man’

“That’s Your Lot is five years of our lives condensed into 59 minutes of yours. Youth, capriciousness, duality, duplicity, love, bitterness, fate. Songs from the human core: some malleable, long considered – others pure, direct, cruelly honest. An album to bathe in and appreciate the inevitable end.” – Ben Gregory, Blaenavon

 

Recorded with Grammy-winning producer Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Bjork) the LP marks a certain milestone for the band: a sumptuous, thrilling and brave collection of songs written throughout their teenage years and now fully realised. Intensely personal, yet exploring the universal experiences of friendship, sadness, hope, love held and lost, and all the confusions of youth – a body of work to help define a generation.

The band also announced a headline UK tour in support of That’s Your Lot, which includes a landmark show at London’s Heaven on 7 April 2017.

Blaenavon will also be joining Sundara Karma on their UK dates, before a lengthy run throughout Europe with Two Door Cinema Club. A fulsome summer of festival appearances awaits thereafter, in addition to further international touring.

2017 will see Blaenavon come of age as the most exciting act out of the UK.
