Guillemots – ‘I Must Be A Lover’
The beautiful new single out June 19th
The acclaimed new album ‘Walk the River’ out now

The beautiful and exhilarating ‘I Must Be A Lover’ is the latest single from Guillemots, released June 19th on Geffen.

Taken from their stunning ‘Walk the River’ album, ‘I Must Be A Lover” is a rousing call of defiance against internal demons, a prayer for optimism which cascades its way into a joyous, jubilant finale. Written by Fyfe Dangerfield and Aristazabal Hawkes, it is at once anthemic and intimate, a soulful dip into gospel, pop and technicolour soundscapes, and a perfect soundtrack to the summer months. ‘Walk the River’ follows ‘Through the Windowpane’ (2006), ‘Red’ (2008) and last year’s solo debut by frontman Fyfe Dangerfield.

Produced by David Kosten (Bat for Lashes, Everything Everything) at Bryn Derwen Studios, a converted country manor in the mountains of North Wales, the album is as innovative as it is classic.
