The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Now Or Whenever', set to be released on October 1st via their own Moth Noise imprint. Pre-order it here.
Speaking about the track, the band explain: “The bones of ‘No One Knows Better’ were written on the same day as ‘Catch You on the Way Back In’, at a windswept bungalow surrounded by cows and birds of prey. We’d popped a couple of 11AM Beck’s blues and Jed just started losing it on the guitar. I got my biro out and tried my best not to think – writing down everything I’d ever wanted to say about the fetishisation of coffee table books, the apathy I’d felt at Jim Morrison’s grave, vindictive ‘plant mums’ and the decline of physical maps. Like a lot of songs on ‘Now or Whenever’ it deals with the passage of time when you’re not sure anything’s changing, and trying to leave the worst bits of yourself behind. That said, we once met Tim Wheeler from Ash in New York and he said “it’s Tuesday night, don’t ever let it end”, which always stuck in my subconscious and might explain some of the melodies in this song too.”
