Ending Summer 2009 with 2 shows at Electric Picnic, followed by the opportunity to support Kasabian as part of the Arthur's Day celebrations, The Dying Seconds decided it was the perfect time to bunker down and record their sophomore album. The resulting record took longer than expected to make, and it was only in December 2010 that they re-emerged from the studio with an expanded line-up to test the live waters again. It went well:
"A bunch of us fell for The Dying Seconds at a packed late night show upstairs at Whelan's, Dublin, in December. It felt like the ferocious coming out of a great new band." (Aaron Dessner, The National)
Spurred on by the success of that night, the band set about wrapping up the final strands of what had become an absolute labour of love for all of the 7 musicians playing on, and agonising over, every detail of the record. Changing and reshaping songs, dropping some and writing new ones along the way… 18 Months after the recording process began, finally Glimmerers is finished, "a stunningly beautiful and ambitious album". (Aaron Dessner)
The first public glimpse of Glimmerers comes in the form of a double digital release for Mora Minn and Kid Logic, both available to download on i-tunes from the 12th of August, 2011.
