The new single is taken from their upcoming 2nd album Suicide Songs which is to be released 29th January 2016 via Bella Union.
Jamie Lee commented on the album: “It seemed to make sense for the period, since I was dabbling with an unworldly attitude toward life, though that’s changed now,” he vouches. “But we don’t want it to come across just in a negative way. We don’t want to glorify mental illness either.”
“Above all else, I’m just trying to project and portray a poetic truth. Suicide is about anonymity, to the point where you don’t exist, which I definitely feel in my song writing and as a person. But rather than writing myself out of anonymity, I want to remain there, in this record at least. It’s recognising a kind of sacrificial nature, in making artistic choices. By rummaging around in your feelings and trying to make sense of life, to the detriment of your health, there might be some poetic value to what you have created.”
