White Lies have shared a new single, Trouble In America.
The track is one of four new songs that will appear on the upcoming bonus edition of their latest album, 'As I Try Not To Fall Apart', which is scheduled to arrive digitally on October 21. The record was originally released back in February.
The '80s-inspired synthy, indie-rock track builds to a big, hooky chorus and comes with a video directed by the band's bassist Charles Cave. The trio commented:
"We gave up on b-sides years ago, and go into making an album with the sole aim to fit the most cohesive 40mins 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 Am 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."
