The monitor is the most recent preview to be taken from the band’s upcoming second LP ‘O Monolith’, which is due out on June 9 through Warp.
Of the brand new track, drummer/vocalist Ollie Judge stated: “It’s much more weak than stuff we’ve beforehand executed, which could be fairly a frightening factor. Dan [Carey] and I had been speaking about vocal supply and the way it might be good to not utterly let myself go, and never fall again on shouting as a result of it’s extra immediately gratifying. The finish of the track is admittedly mushy and tender and I don’t suppose we’ve executed one thing like that earlier than.
“On the surface it’s a song about police brutality with the last section kind of inspired by The Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Allen Poe, although I’ve never read the book, I’ve just seen The Simpsons’ spoof of it. Narratively it follows a police helicopter pilot’s day, ending with him in bed hearing another pilot circling the skies as if he were taunting him. There’s a deeper meaning in there somewhere of my fear of ego, but I’m still working out which bit of the song that’s coming from.”
Check out the brand new video beneath.
So far, the album has been previewed by singles ‘Swing (In A Dream)’ and ‘Undergrowth’, and Judge lately informed NME of what to anticipate of the follow-up to 2021 debut ‘Bright Green Field’.
“We’re leaning a lot more into experimental song structures,” he continued. “When I was having a really hard time writing lyrics and the album, I saw this tweet from Missy Elliot saying ‘Don’t make a second album that sounds like your first – just go fucking nuts’” he stated. “It’s definitely harder to play live.”
The band are set to go out on a UK and Ireland headline tour later this 12 months, with tickets obtainable right here.
