After releasing with the stellar single “Don’t Stop Me” late last year, Manchester’s Corella have now announced their plans for their eagerly-awaited debut album ‘Once Upon A Weekend’, showcased by the anthemic new track “Drifting”.
Continuing to explore more of that explosive indie-rock sound they have cultivated for themselves over the years, ‘Once Upon A Weekend’ looks set to become one of the more impactful debut LPs for the year ahead. Produced and mixed by Ady Hall and Lee McCarthy at Sugar House, and featuring the newly unveiled offering “Drifting”, the four-piece are turning the swagger all the way up on this fresh and explosive guitar-driven belter.
Speaking about the new offering, they said, “Drifting is all about being younger and completely carefree. Exploring the jungle that is your neighbourhood, getting up to no good with your friends and making memories that last a lifetime. This transpires through later life as you try and find your path but never seem to find it, you just bounce from day to day doing as you please as you did when you were a kid.”
The single is accompanied by an uplifting and contemplative video directed by Jay Brasier-Creagh (watch HERE). “We wanted to capture the stories of our upbringing and childhood, but through an older man’s perspective of reminiscing on his fonder, younger years.” The band explains. “Portraying the metaphor of drifting through life, seeing where your path takes you, but then ending up here- a care home. It’s the little things in life that trigger flash backs and all of sudden you’re encapsulated in your 10 year old self again, roaming care free with 0 responsibilities, out with your mates and living for the moment. We wanted the viewer to question – is it really reliving the past, or is it the reality of an old, tired mind loosing sanity and longing for that free spirit it once had.”
Following three sold-out UK headline tours in September 2022, March, and October 2023, Corella today announce a UK headline tour alongside a plethora of festival dates to support their upcoming album. Tickets for their UK tour will go on sale Friday February 9th @ 10am
