Toronto-based four piece Tallies have announced their self-titled debut album will be released on January 11th, 2019 via Fear Of Missing Out Records.
“While writing this album, we were listening to The Sundays Reading, Writing and Arithmetic a lot,” says Dylan Frankland (lead guitar) adding, “Harriet Wheeler’s soft-spokenly sweet melodies has a major influence on where Sarah sometimes takes her writing to.” The album was co-produced by Frankland and Josh Korody at Toronto’s Candle Recordings. It’s also where Frankland works as an engineer/producer.
The band are sharing the lead single from the record “Beat the Heart“. The song is inspired by dreamy yet straightforward performance videos of the late ‘80s by bands like The Sundays and Cocteau Twins. Frontwoman Sarah Cogan says the infectious and charging track laments “the lack of empathy that exists so strongly today.”
