WINDINGS RETURN In 2016 with Irish dates, including Galway next week, festival appearances, while their fourth studio album, Be Honest and Fear Not, is due out in the autumn.
A taste of the forthcoming album is provided via the new double A-side single, 'Stray Dogs'/'Helicopters', which marks new territory and direction for the Limerick band, eschewing pop sensibilities in favour of a more saturnine and desolate sound.
Since the release of their last album, the Choice Music Prize-nominated I Am Not The Crow, Windings released a split record with Dublin indie band Land Lovers and collaborating with Rusangano/Family and Naive Ted. Windings began as a solo project of former Giveamanakick frontman, Steve Ryan, but has now grown to accommodate like-minded musicians over the years.
The band will play a free gig at Strange Brew in the Róisín Dubh on Thursday May 26 at 9pm. Gugai will DJ afterwards.
