Amyl and The Sniffers announce second album with opening track "Guided By Angels"

07 July 2021, 15:01 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Amyl and The Sniffers have returned with news of their second album Comfort to Me, and have unveiled the opening track "Guided By Angels" as the lead outing.

"Guided By Angels" is the first new material from the Australian group since their 2019 self-titled debut album, and is accompanied by a video directed by John Angus Stewart.

Comfort to Me was recorded late last year with producer Dan Luscombe, and features 13 songs (cut down from 17) that were written over the course of the lockdown period.

Lead vocalist Amy Taylor says of the album, "If you have to explain what this record is like, I reckon it’s like watching an episode of The Nanny but the setting is an Australian car show and the Nanny cares about social issues and she’s read a couple of books, and Mr Sheffield is drinking beer in the sun. It’s a Mitsubishi Lancer going slightly over the speed limit in a school zone. It’s realising how good it is to wear track pants in bed. It’s having someone who wants to cook you dinner when you’re really shattered. It’s me shadow-boxing on stage, covered in sweat, instead of sitting quietly in the corner."

Tracklist:

  1. Guided By Angels
  2. Freaks to the Front
  3. Choices
  4. Security
  5. Hertz
  6. No More Tears
  7. Maggot
  8. Capital
  9. Don’t Fence Me In
  10. Knifey
  11. Don’t Need A Cunt (Like you to love me)
  12. Laughing
  13. Snakes
"Guided By Angels" is out now. Amyl and The Sniffers' Comfort to Me album will arrive 10 September via Rough Trade Records, and is available to pre-order now.
