Rumour Den is the vehicle for the melancholic, dark, reality-infused songs written by long-time writing partners AJ Gilmore (lyrics & vocals) & Steve Simms (guitar & music). They hail from Northern Ireland, but their songs could be about anyone from anywhere – the themes are universal – love, loss, loneliness, alienation, helplessness in the face of power.
Late last year the idea to reimagine some old material with a new sound sparked something within the pair and no sooner had they reworked this older material, than ideas for new material within that sound came pouring out. The pair had well and truly fallen off the wagon…it was a relapse.
And so Relapse became the title of this new collection of songs and it will be released towards the end of the year. In the run-up to that release, Rumour Den will be releasing a song a month starting with Sea of Trees, which you can check out below.
