Warm Digits have posted a new single featuring Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne.
Growth of Raindrops will feature on the Newcastle electronic duo's forthcoming third LP, 'Wireless World', which is due out on August 11 via Memphis Industries, having been pushed back from August 4.
Discussing the track, Steve Jefferies said:
""Growth of Raindrops" is one of the motorik-powered, hyper-melodic songs from Wireless World, and had existed as an instrumental live favourite for some time before we recorded the album. We'd struck up a friendship with Saint Etienne after Bob Stanley asked us to help soundtrack the documentary film he made with artist Esther Johnson, called Asunder, and later supported Saint Etienne at Sage Gateshead, where we first met Sarah. When drawing up our wish-list of guest vocalists for the album, Sarah was a front-runner as we'd been big fans of the lush electronic pop of Saint Etienne since the year dot, and we were delighted she was up for a collaboration. Sarah's vocal amplifies the melodic energy of the song, and takes the album's theme of environmental jeopardy to narrate a tale of nature, loss, beauty and ambivalence."
Jefferies and Andrew Hodson will call at Green Man festival on August 18 before headline shows in Brighton, London and Newcastle. They will also appear at Manchester Psych Fest in September, support Field Music in Newcastle on November 5 and perform at Leeds' Us vs. Them festival on December 2.
Warm Digits Upcoming Tour Dates are as follows
Thu August 24 2017 - BRIGHTON Prince Albert
Fri August 25 2017 - LONDON Lexington
Fri September 01 2017 - NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE Cluny
