Welly announces his debut albumBig In The Suburbs,which will be released on
March 21st
The record launches alongside the incredible new single and title track 'Big In The
Suburbs', available now. Reporting for duty as the next great British band, Welly
recently wrapped the 14-date Southern Leg ofThe National Service Tour,with Northern
dates and a headline show at London's Moth Club set to follow on December 4th as
their nationwide trek reachesThe Suburbsnear you...
The album centres on the monochrome mundanity but also the unsung beauty of the
suburbs; a collection of picture- perfect, alt- pop vignettes, in which regular lives are
often quietly on the brink of going berserk. For his debut album - all written and selfproduced by Welly himself - this rich tableaux of British life is celebrated for all its
tragedies and triumphs.Here are songs about wanting more than you have, a world in
fux, doomed romance, and fguring out how to be happy where everybody knows your
name (and your Mum's).
Welly has been building his creative province all year with a series of singles in the
run-up toBig In The Suburbs.First single 'Shopping', for instance, pays tribute to the
dying UK high street and today's grass- is- greener mentality, setting out the group's
blueprint for Pop on a budget. 'Soak Up The Culture' meanwhile both sends up and
adds to the canon of the lost, the Lads-On- Tour Anthem, with lawnmower- themed
love-triangle 'Deere John' connecting a story arc with 'Cul-De-Sac' (and the stasis of
two people at a romantic dead-end road). With inspiration ranging from the parochial
storytelling of Blur or the intellectual electronica of Pet Shop Boys to kitchen- sink
noughties bangers like Girls Aloud, Welly show early ambitions to reconnect the great,
grassroots British tradition with the mainstream bands once beamed straight into
your claustrophobic living room.
