The song is taken from the upcoming EP of the same name (due September), and follows-on from the charismatic guitar pop EP, A Hill To Die On, released last year.
‘Spices’ turns up the temperature and slows down the pace as the the five-piece display a new assured confidence amid a backdrop of fictional letters written to liven up the mundanity of lockdown times.
Conor Heafey: “‘Spices’ was jammed and put together all in one day. It's just two chords, but it's got that heavy dynamic lift. It's quite a slow steady song, it just flowed and came out very naturally.”
Hamish Swanson: “It was one of those days when the sun was so luscious but it felt like winter was coming but it was okay. When we wrote that song, I thought the room we were in had a window because it just felt like it was golden Sun. It was a really golden thing. It just emerged out of the day.
“During lockdown I wrote a series of letters between an imaginary writer to say to a friend. I was walking around exactly the same streets every day doing the same things. I was asking a lot of questions about dumb things, pointless questions. questions that didn't even really make sense, That series of letter just seemed to fit as a narrative."
