Green Diesel announce new album

Green Diesel

Following their critically-acclaimed 2021 album, After Comes The Dark, which saw Green Diesel pick up a slew of enthusiastic reviews for what became their best-selling release to date, the Kent-based folk-rock band are finally back with a brand-new album. 

Onward The Sun! is the band’s long-awaited fifth album and is scheduled for release on 25 April. The nine-track album features six newly-composed songs inspired by themes such humanity’s connections with the natural world, ancient folklore, the persecution of witches and Shakespeare’s Henry IV, as well as fresh interpretations of much-loved Morris tunes, a modern take on a traditional murder ballad and a cover of a Paul Giovanni composition from the cinematic soundtrack to The Wickerman. 

Showcasing Green Diesel’s masterful distillation of folk, rock and psychedelic influences, together with their usual exemplary musicianship and trademark vocals, the album was recorded at Squarehead Studios in Newington, Kent with producer Rob Wilks (Smoke Fairies, Lianne La Havas, Story Books) once again at the helm. 

Guitarist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Greg Ireland, comments:  

“This is an album born out of playing together a lot!  Most of the pieces were developed through a lot of sessions together and really stretching out the jams into some of those elongated pieces we play live.  We then recorded the main tracks all live together in one room, no click tracks.  It’s really a celebration of what this band is and the sound we make together.
