Tom Odell announces second album
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 5 April 2016
Tom Odell has announced that he will release his second album, ‘Wrong Crowd’, on 10 Jun. Produced by Jim Abbiss, the LP is the follow-up to Odell’s 2013 debut, ‘The Long Road’.
Of the new record Odell says: “I wanted the songs to sound big and dramatic; big strings and melodies emphasising the songs further – rich in musicality and holding nothing back”.
“The album follows a narrative of a man held at ransom by his childhood, yearning for it, yearning for nature – a desire for innocence in this perverse world in which he now lives”, he continues. “It’s a fictional story but the emotions and feelings are obviously ones I have felt – though the stories are elaborated and exaggerated. I wanted to create a world with a heightened sense of reality”.
You can catch Odell live at the Islington Assembly Hall on 20 Apr, and watch the video for the album’s first single and title track ‘Wrong Crowd’ here:
