Watch: Gathering of Strangers Premiere New Single/Video "Cherry Red"

Manchester indie rock band/alt Gathering of Strangers have premiered the video for their new single "Cherry Red".

The song is part of our current playlist and is out now through Inter Music. Get it here.

As the band’s frontman Conor Rabone says: “”Cherry Red” is a tale of your love/hate relationship with fear. His charm gets you in the bedroom but her power chains you to the bed. It’s then up to you whether that’s something you want to escape from or not”.

As ecstatic 80s-piqued synthesisers duel with reverb-tinged guitars and loping basslines, it’s a nocturnal indie-rock anthem that dances through light and shade; destined to lodge itself in your consciousness for some time.

Epic and enigmatic in equal parts, “Cherry Red” fuses the impassioned anthemia of White Lies with the heart-on-sleeve hooks of The Killers; capturing the five-piece’s grand ambitions with a single that shoots straight for the big time.
