Debut and breakthrough record The Balcony has become a career-defining album for Catfish and the Bottlemen. With double-platinum UK singles including “Cocoon” and “Kathleen,” it was originally released on September 15, 2014. Written by Van McCann and produced by Jim Abbiss, the collection of songs on this album showcase McCann’s talent for posing everyday, easily identifiable observations through his lyrics. In celebration of the 10 Year Anniversary, and after their biggest headline shows to date in summer 2024, The Balcony will be released on limited edition CD with inverted white artwork and 6 bonus tracks, including a selection of previously unreleased acoustic versions of “Cocoon,” “Kathleen” and “Pacifier,” “Rango” (single version), “Hourglass” (Ewan McGregor version) and rare bonus track “ASA,” available on CD and Vinyl for the first time after the original pressing of the limited edition 7” single 10 years ago.
