Brooklyn band Beverly have announced the release of their sophomore album entitled The Blue Swell. Set for release on May 6 via Kanine Records, the forthcoming record follows their 2014 debut LP Careers. Beverly shared the track ‘Crooked Cop’, which is the first single off the new album, back in 2015.

Beverly have also released their second single ‘Victoria’. Although preserving elements of their shoegaze sound, the bold indie influence stands firm, which points to the new direction of sound in which the group has taken.

Regarding Beverly’s new work, lead vocalist Drew Citron wrote:

“It wasn’t necessarily a conscious decision to create- or not create – a new sound, but changes were inevitable, and we’re working harder than ever to get at what we love about good songs, what we can do with them, and how they can connect to people.”
