Weaving themes of gluttony, desire and religious iconography among brooding, gothic rock, the track marks the Dublin's quartet's first with guitarist Zac Stephenson, following the departure of founding member Colm O'Reilly. The band said:
"Pulling from our love of grunge and gothic, Feast is named as such because it explores the idea of gluttony, consumption and desire, particularly when it comes to sexuality and romance. In Ireland a lot of our first conscious experience of storytelling happens to be religious, due in most parts to the interlinking of our Catholic Church and state, particularly in education. The Bible stories and fables of good, bad, morality and sin were always pressed upon us.
"I thought it was interesting to use this iconography and imagery reimagined in a queer context. Feast is dark, gothic and sensual, encouraging us to unapologetically pursue our wants and desires."
Produced by Dan Fox of Gilla Band and written by guitarist-singer Karla Chubb, it follows the previously shared Help Me, I'm Spiralling and Drones. The tracks were recorded during the sessions for their debut album, 'Letter To Self', which arrived back in January.
