Hotly-tipped garage four-piece Catfish And The Bottlemen release their debut album The Balcony through Communion / Caroline Australia.

The release comes on the tail end of a hugely successful UK summer for the English lads from Llandudno, which sees them playing over 30 festival dates including Reading & Leeds, Latitude and T In The Park, plus Ibiza/Mallorca Rocks alongside Jake Bugg.

‘Cocoon’ is the latest single from The Balcony, which recently premiered as Zan Lowe’s Hottest Record In The World.

A lean jolt of youthful energy – recorded with Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys) on production duties – The Balcony includes the singles Homesick (Zane Lowe Next Hype, XFM Evening playlist), Rango (Radio 1 BBC Introducing Playlist, Zane Lowe’s 100 Hottest Tracks of The Year, XFM Daytime playlist), Pacifier (Radio 1 INMWT playlist, XFM daytime playlist), Kathleen (Radio 1 playlist, 6Music Playlist, XFM Daytime playlist) Fallout (Radio 1 playlist, XFM Daytime playlist & 6Music playlist), and ‘Cocoon’ (Zane Lowe's Hottest Record In The World). The album release sees the culmination of six years of tenacity and sheer bloody-mindedness from Van McCann (vocals/guitar), Billy Bibby (guitar), Benji Blakeaway (bass) and Bob Hall (drums).
