Public Service Broadcasting have released a new single called The South Atlantic.
The track will appear on the London-based group's fifth studio album, 'The Last Flight', and features calming vocals from Kate Stables of This Is The Kit over a swelling orchestral arrangement. Introducing the song, an ode to the late aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, founding member J. Willgoose, Esq. said:
"The song tells the story of Earhart’s third successful transatlantic flight, and her first south of the Equator. I wanted to write something that’d sound good to listen to while looking out of an aeroplane window, something calm and serene but with a sense of forward motion. Kate, Carl and the strings players from the London Contemporary Orchestra really took this track somewhere else - I love what they all brought to it.”
It follows on from the previously unveiled cut, Electra, inspired by Earhart's plane of the same name. The follow-up to 2021's 'Bright Magic' will arrive on October 4 via the band's new label home, SO Recordings.
The four-piece will support the LP with a UK and European tour in the autumn, alongside a series of in-store and out-store dates during release week. Tickets are on sale now.
