The Waterboys are gearing up to release their 15th studio album, All Souls Hill, on May 6 via Cooking Vinyl. "All Souls Hill is mysterious, otherworldly, tune-banging and emotional,” says founding member and frontman Mike Scott. “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." You can listen to three songs off it below.
Mike Scott and bandmate Brother Paul will be going on a Waterboys US acoustic tour in support of the album. So far, the only dates announced are two in NYC: May 16 at Gramercy Theater and May 18 at Music Hall of Williamsburg.
