The band’s Bohemian Clutter will arrive through State51 on May 9th, flanked by a headline concert to be held at The Waiting Room in Stoke Newington and led by the newly premiered single ‘Silent Corners’ which deftly deploys a cavernous dynamism and understated, Pinback-like winding and intricate melodic disposition.
pencil share of their new single,
“‘Silent Corners’ is the sound of something beautiful turning into something terrifying, a meditation on what might lurk beneath the surface. We wanted the song to unfold in the way that a dance track might, constantly growing and gaining momentum, before eventually collapsing in on itself.”
Hear ‘Silent Corners’ below.
