The Catenary Wires have made another track available from their forthcoming third album The Birling Gap. Titled The Overview Effect it’s the album’s closing track. The Overview Effect is “a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the Earth from outer space” – thanks Wikipedia! The song itself is a charming indiepop track with folk influences and whilst I am not sure about those astronauts it certainly had me floating off into the cosmos.
The Birling Gap will be released on June 18th 2021. It’s being released on Shelflife Records (US) as well as a joint release between Skep Wax and the band (UK/ROW).
