Tablefox new album 'Battles'
When we talk about our lives these days there's a line drawn between Pre-Covid and Post-Covid and the battles we've all faced in the time in between. That, in a way, is the story of the new Tablefox album 'BATTLES'.
Writing and recording started way back before Covid and the 10 tracks that made it have been a labour of love for the band.
Five singles have been released and collectively they've spent over half of 2020 in the top 20 of the NZ Rock chart.
Kicking in from the outset with the intense lead single ‘BURNING BRIDGES’ the band hit with a heavy, no nonsense track straight out of the gate. Summer Indie anthem ‘Time’ is next up and moves the album on with a heap of hooks and moods covering the full range of singer Clinton Bell’s life experiences. The epic title track ‘Battles’ deals with growing up identifying with 2 different cultures; then the moving ‘Light in the Darkness’ where Bell touches on other battles with depression.
Last year’s hit single ‘DESIRE OR LOVE’ cranks things up to the roof again for a run through other previous singles ‘ALWAYS ALWAYS’ & ‘COMING HOME’. Stripped back and ethereal, ‘GHOSTLINES’ is a beautiful ballad before the stunning ‘KEEP THEM GUESSING’ closes things out in style.
‘BATTLES’ is released on July 30. Listen here:
