Barns Courtney reveals debut record 'The Attractions Of Youth'

Finally, we have news that the debut album from Barns Courtney is coming to our ears on September 29.

Being released via Virgin EMI, The Attractions Of Youth by Barns Courtney will feature a mammoth fourteen tracks.

There is also an updated, album-version of Barns Courtney’s well-loved ‘Hands’, as well as the inclusion of previous singles ‘Fire’ and ‘Glitter & Gold’.

The tour, which begins at Brighton’s Hope & Ruin on September 15, is set to reach ten cities in total including Newcastle Upon-Tyne (18), Sheffield (23), Bristol (25) and Oxford (26). Tickets for all shows are available now.
