U.K. post-punk band Talk Show release new single “Red/White”
U.K. post-punk band Talk Show have delivered another taste of their forthcoming debut album Effigy titled “Red/White” today.
Vocalist Harrison Swann said this about the new song, which can be heard below:
“‘Red/White’ has definitely been one of the songs that’s evolved the most on the album. We wanted to really lean into something that was going to be a real mix of guitar driven electronica. We wanted something proper fast. Vocally I felt it was important to have a calmer delivery, compared to the other tracks on the album, as I think it helped to add to the hectic atmosphere in the song. We envisioned it being that feeling when you stand in the smoking area of a club, in the middle of January, and it’s absolutely freezing cold.
For me ‘Red/White’ stands out the most on the album, as we really tried to aim for something different than what we’d done before. Mixing DnB drum beats with Peter Hook-esque bass lines felt like a bizarre mix in the studio, but I’m really proud of what the song has become.”
Effigy will be released on February 16 via Missing Piece Records. Pre-saves for the album can be made here.
Talk Show will support the album with a tour across the U.K. and Europe. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
