Civil Twilight album details


South African rock trio Civil Twilight will release their sophomore album holy weather on March 27 through Wind Up Records. The band’s single, “Fire Escape” is available at all digital retailers and as a CD single with select indie retailers.
Fans that pre-order the album digitally through iTunes will instantly receive the single, as well as a pre-order only track and three exclusive bonus tracks when the album comes out. Holy weather can also be pre-ordered as physical copies via the band’s merch store, where Limited Edition Clear Vinyl is sold in bundles, and through Amazon and Newbury Comics.
After the successful release of Civil Twilight’s self-titled debut in 2009, their single “Letters from the Sky” peaked at #5 at Alternative Radio in 2010. The single’s video was the #1 most played on MTV2 at the time of its release. “Letters from the Sky” also appeared on TV sitcoms NUMB3RS, One Tree Hill and House.
This year, the band’s song How’m I Supposed to Die” will appear in the Underworld: Awakening film and soundtrack.

In 2011, the band contributed the title cover song for the record Come As You Are: A 20th Anniversary Tribute To Nirvana's Nevermind.
On the new record, singer/bassist Steven McKellar was heavily inspired by the notion that road life can change the way you perceive the world. He started writing songs based on nostalgia, which would eventually lead to album’s 11 new tracks.
