Folly Group have announced details of their much anticipated debut album “Down There!”, which is set for release on 12th January 2024 via So Young Records. The news is accompanied by the release of borderless single and album opener “Big Ground”. 

Following an acclaimed debut EP “Awake And Hungry” (also on So Young Records), and its follow-up in last year’s “Human And Kind” – an EP that received a perfect 5-star review from Dork, and a glowing 4-stars from DIY – The new album arrives on the heels of the band’s critically acclaimed return with “Strange Neighbour” last month and their packed-out tour with Brooklyn’s Geese, who are signed to Partisan Records.

The first sound you hear on “Down There!” is a gang vocal from all four members, yelling the title of album-opener and lead single “Big Ground.” The track also introduces the duality between rock and electronic elements in the album – a central tenet to the albums make up. Alternating between cold electronic verses and guitar-driven choruses, the outro moves through a dub section into a psych-rock freakout, backed by a rising drone. Amidst the bridge’s percussion, Akinde-Hummel can be heard ‘playing’ a metal chair from the studio. Enjoy the tune!
