Pulled Apart By Horses have shared a new single, First World Problems.
The song marks the first taste of the Leeds-based rockers' forthcoming fifth studio album, due out in spring 2022 via their new label home at Alcopop! Records, though a title and release date is still to be unveiled.
Delivered with rawness and urgency inspired by the likes of Iggy And The Stooges, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie and The Cramps, it finds frontman Tom Hudson ditching his guitar to focus solely on vocals. He said:
"[The song is] a voiced frustration towards our groomed, individualist society, where the real world and our online world is full of constant venting of minor/trivial annoyances as if they are the centre of the universe, when really there are more pressing matters out there and a far bigger picture.
"Our musical tastes change monthly, never mind over the course of the years, so we are never going to be the kind of band who’d do the same album every time. We’ve always been that band that are ‘too heavy for the indie kids, and too indie for the heavy kids’ in industry terms, but it’s quite cool that people don’t really know where to put us, because it means no-one can easily slap a genre name upon us. Now we have the freedom to just be who we are."
