Kodaline have announced their stripped-down acoustic album, Our Roots Run Deep, recorded at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin. The 17-track live album and Fantasy Records debut will arrive on October 14th, 2022. Alongside the announcement, the band has released the live video for “Brother” today.
Our Roots Run Deep will be released digitally and in an array of physical formats including CD / Standard Cream LP / Limited Indie & HMV Maroon LP / Irish Exclusive Green LP as well as special fan bundles available at kodaline.com including limited signed prints & exclusive double cassette. The album is available for pre-order HERE.
Produced with pristine clarity by fellow Irish cohort, Phillip Magee, Our Roots Run Deep features a cross-section of the group’s most treasured tunes and three illuminating covers in over 80-minutes of music.
“This album is something we’ve wanted to do for a very longtime, it’s also something entirely new to us,” explain the band. “It’s a stripped-down acoustic show with no click, which basically means, it’s very raw and unfiltered. We wanted to try and capture the energy and atmosphere of the night as best we could. It was an intimate show recorded in one of our favourite venues in the world, in Dublin City at home in Ireland. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed playing it.”
The band include three interesting and revealing covers on the album as well: a brooding, dramatic turn on Michael Jackson’s ‘Billie Jean’, a mostly a cappella performance of Sam Cooke’s soul classic ‘Bring It On Home To Me’, and a taste of ‘Dirty Old Town’, the near Irish standard popularized by The Dubliners and The Pogues.
