The Blinders have shared their new single, 'Forty Days And Forty Nights', the latest track to be taken from their upcoming album Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath, out on May 8th via Modern Sky UK.
Opening to an intoxicating blend of driving drums and forebodingly warped guitars, the track is a sinister and visceral account of the collapse of a relationship into murderous animosity, which pulsates between passages of calm and chaos. The track premiered last night with Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music and has already gained support from Jack Saunders at Radio 1, John Kennedy at Radio X and Chris Hawkins at 6Music. "It's about trying to escape what you may call a toxic relationship," explain the band. "It represents the desperation to get out of the situation that you are in, but also the frustration at not having that craved freedom." The track is the second to be taken from their upcoming album, Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath, following 'Circle Song', released earlier this month. The album was recorded at Manchester's Eve Studios alongside producer Rob Ellis (PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi), and mixed by Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse).1st - Live At Leeds Festival, Leeds
