East London based quintet IAN will be releasing their stirring debut album on Vinyl and Digital via independent label Human Worth. Pre-orders will kick off on September 5th at Human Worth’s Bandcamp store.

IAN (the band) are refreshing newcomers in the UK’s heavy underground. Their stirring debut album is a labour of love between five old friends and ex-bandmates from Exeter’s fertile early ’00s DIY punk scene. Self-described as “a band that appreciates the peaks and troughs of post-rock as much as the crunch of the riff,” IAN’s striking debut will deliver earth swallowing riffs with the atmospheres and dynamics of their post-rock heroes, such as Godspeed You! Black Emperor, with the bite and visceral heft of Cult Of Luna and Amenra. Thoughtfully captured by Wayne Adams (Petbrick, Big Lad) at his London based Bear Bites Horse studio, IAN craft slowly mounting riffs, with anguished screams, woven with elegant cello playing, field recordings and earthy timbres.

Stay tuned for more details as well as the first single coming soon.

IAN will be supporting Skloss at London’s Strongroom Bar on August 27th.
