The Waterboys take a trip up ‘All Souls Hill’

The Waterboys have unveiled a video for new single ‘All Souls Hill’ - the title track to their new album out May 6 on Cooking Vinyl. It follows 2020’s critically acclaimed Good Luck Seeker. 

Late last year saw the album’s first preview ‘The Liar’, a descriptive swipe at political charlatanry. ‘All Souls Hill’ features classical imagery from the New York Public Library's archive, each painting illustrating a couplet from the lyric of this string-led upbeat piece. Watch here.

Mike Scott: "All Souls Hill is a fast-forward blast through human history, from mythical beginnings to coruscating present, set to a pychodramatic soundscape."

All Souls Hill was mixed by Scott and was announced off the back of the band’s recent sold out UK tour and box set ‘The Magnificent Seven: The Waterboys' Fisherman’s Blues/Room To Roam Band, 1989-1990.’

"The album All Souls Hill is mysterious, otherworldly, tune-banging and emotional.” comments Mike. “I made it with Waterboys old and new and my co-producer, brilliant sonic guru Simon Dine. Its nine songs tell stories, explore dreamscapes, and cast a cold but hopeful eye on the human drama."

The album is available to pre-order here as CD, Ltd Color LP + bonus 7” single with exclusive tracks, LP & Tape. Also included are exclusive bundles with a Signed Art Print
