Kiss, which vocalist Tom Smith described as a “crying on the dancefloor banger”, is an expansive composition that expertly brings together elements of synth-pop, indie and rock to create a dark yet danceable eight minutes.
The song features on their new album, 'EBM', due out on September 23 It follows previous cuts Karma Climb and Heart Attack.
The track arrives with a video directed by guitarist Justin Lockey and his brother’s production company Hand Held Cine Club. It features choreography from Sophia Hurdley performed by dancers Harry Ondrak-Wright and Rory Macleod. Lockey said:
“The idea of this video came out of a want to do something simple and abstract that didn’t read too deep into the lyrics or any kind of blow by blow literal take on the lyrics. It was more about using the title to spark a theme to work on, using movement as the core medium. The idea I landed on would be to show the story of two souls constantly attracting and repelling each other, never quite fully coming together… until ultimately they succumb to being intertwined together for better or for worse.”
The Birmingham band will support the new record with a European tour in October, then UK and Ireland shows in early 2023. Tickets are on sale now.
