Dublin rock group Silverbacks have announced their new studio album.

Revealed today, Archive Material will be released on Full Time Hobby on January 21. To celebrate the announcement, Silverbacks have released the title track from the album. An accompanying music video directed by and starring vocalist Daniel O'Kelly can be seen below.

O'Kelly said this about the new song:

“The initial demo version started from a drum sample taken from the opening of Jean-Pierre Massiera’s “Bonne Annee”. When we fleshed it out as a full band and Gary gave the track his usual kick up the arse, the song went full Les Baxter exotica mode.

When writing the lyrics, I imagined a bunch of government officials in the deep underground of their building digging into archives. As the night continues, they get unusually aroused by the access they have to top secret information that the common folk never see.”

Pre-orders for Archive Material, which includes their previously released single “Wear My Medals” can be made here. Silverbacks will be touring across Ireland and the U.K. this month. Tour dates can be seen below.
