London indie/post punk trio White Lies have released their new single "Trouble In America", alongside an accompanying music video.
Speaking about it, the band says: "We gave up on b-sides years ago, and go into making an album with the sole aim to fit the most cohesive 40 mins of music onto two sides of a 12"; that we can. Unfortunately that means some music is sidelined at the final hurdle. "Trouble In America" was the hardest song to leave off. It was written a couple of days after "I Really Going to Die" and lives in the same world, and energy. Desperation Funk? In this song we jump between the mind of a serial killer, and his good Christian teenage daughter as she realises who...or what her father is and always has been. “My old man's making trouble in America! Oh, lord, take the weight off me!" she pleads over a cock-rock, Todd Rundgren-esque chorus. We have a history of bonus tracks becoming live favourites, and we’re putting a bitcoin on this horse to keep up tradition."
The song is taken from the bonus edition of 'As I Try Not To Fall Apart', which will be out digitally on 21st October via [PIAS] . Get it here.
