On November 13th, London-based band STATS will release their second album, just one year after their debut “Other People’s Lives,” which garnered support from a wide range of figures including Elton John and Phoebe Waller-Bridge. However, "Powys 1999" distinguishes itself from their first success by how the band composed it and what they explore within it. The album contains a dense narrative that delves into personal upbringing—and the potentially unwanted memories that accompany such reflection—as well as the industrial, financial, and political landscape of the countryside.
