Different Creatures

2017 release, the sophomore album from the British alt-rock band. Dirty Creatures is the follow-up to their debut Young Chasers. The album was co-produced by Alan Moulder, who's worked with The Killers, Arctic Monkeys and Smashing Pumpkins. Different Creatures contains the singles Wake Up and Fire That Burns. Circa Waves formed in Liverpool in 2013. With this release, they've amped up their sound and are coming back with a bolder self-belief and an album full of huge songs. 'Wake Up' is a big and bold way to start, reckons frontman Kieran Shudall. It shows we're not messing around anymore. All of us wanted to make a massive change and bring in these different songs. We played indie songs before and I wanted to progress. The first album felt like a daytime record and this one's based in the nighttime, if that makes sense. This one's a lot more about the demons that I face - a lot of love, loss and anxiety. It's also about the issues that everyone feels like they're going through together at the moment. We're in this weird time of change and everything has become different.
