The album’s lead single, “I Can’t Wait Anymore,” released on October 4th, serves as a tantalising appetiser for what’s to come. Opening with a gentle interplay of bass and vocals, the track builds to a crescendo that can only be described as a bittersweet anti-ballad. It’s a perfect encapsulation of the band’s signature sound, reminiscent of the emotional depth found in Pink Floyd’s work, yet unmistakably unique to The Celtic Social Club.
INVENTORY promises to be a mammoth 20-track journey through the band’s musical evolution. With two never-before-released original songs, “Suddenly” and “Far Away From Here,” listeners are in for a treat that spans the spectrum of rock pop, folk rock, and classic rock influences. The album is set to take audiences on an unparalleled musical odyssey, blending the raw energy of rock with the melodic sensibilities of pop and the magical allure of folk traditions.
