Courteeners – have released new track ‘The Beginning Of The End’ (feat. DMAs) ahead of tomorrows album release

Courteeners release new track ‘The Beginning Of The End’. Widescreen and defiant, it features respected Australian rock outfit DMA’S. Described by MOJO as “heroic”, the release fanfares the band’s 7th studio album, ‘Pink Cactus Café’ out

The highly anticipated ‘Pink Cactus Café’ includes previously released ‘Solitude Of The Night Bus’ plus current single and album title track, which have both received widespread national radio playlist support, plus the sublime ‘Sweet Surrender’ featuring rising star, Brooke Combe.

With Liam Fray co-producing all tracks and featuring additional contributions from friends of the band such as James and Ian Skelly (The Coral), Pixey, Charlie Salt (Blossoms), Ola Modupe-Ojo (Bipolar Sunshine) and Theo Hutchcraft (Hurts) amongst many more, Pink Cactus Café is pop-leaning, exploratory and the band’s most collaborative forward looking record yet.

Released on Ignition Records, the album is available on formats including CD, cassette, signed and limited edition coloured LPs versions featuring an exclusive bonus track. Digital formats will include a Dolby Atmos version of the album. Pre-order and pre- save here. https://courteeners.lnk.to/pinkcactuscafePR
