Downpatrick, Northern Ireland-based hard rock band The Answer issued seventh full-length studio album Sundowners on March 17th, 2023 through 7Hz Productions (ADA) in Europe, licensed from Golden Robot Records Pty. Golden Robot Records Pty directly handled release elsewhere.
Sundowners was recorded in April 2023 at Middlefarm Studios in Devon, England, and was mixed and produced by Dan Weller. The album marked the first time the band had been together in a studio since 2015.
“We’ve been through a lot as a band, toured the world, made six great records we’re all proud of, and always done our best to make honest and timeless music that connects with rock and music fans in general, ” frontman Cormac Neeson commented.
“After six albums and a lot of road miles we felt we needed to step back from it all and reset. Whilst that wasn’t an easy decision, with retrospect it’s possibly the best decision we’ve ever made because after seven years away we all came back fired up and the end result is an album we’ve been waiting to make our whole lives… full of good time rock ‘n’ roll and positive energy created by four brothers who quite frankly just really missed each other. We’re back and we’re ready to bring our best album ever to you!”
