New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Liverpool-based alternative art rock trio SPQR have today released their storming new single 'Josephine' ahead of an appearance at the BBC 6music Fringe Festival in Liverpool this weekend.
The track is the latest to be taken from their second EP, Low Sun Long Shadows, which will be released on 26th April 2019 via
Modern Sky UK.
Front man
Peter Harrison comments on the song: "I actually wrote Josephine about 4 years ago, which is why it's seemingly come out of nowhere. I don't really write 'em like this anymore, which is a shame, but I still love it—which is a miracle—because the other songs I wrote during that batch I don't think much of, but this one just stuck. Maybe it's because it's SUCH a fun live track, but I could never throw it out."
The band recently announced that they will also be appearing at Blue Dot Festival in the summer. The new dates come in addition to their already scheduled slot at Liverpool Sound City Festival.
The band's previous singles 'Blood Pump' and 'Slowly' were added to Spotify's Alt. Rocked., New
Music Friday, All New Indie, New Indie & Alt, and The Punk List playlists, receiving further support from BBC
Radio One, The Line of Best Fit, CLASH, The Quietus, Discovered Magazine, BBC Introducing, Amazing
Radio and more.
Produced by Margo Broom at Hermitage Works Studios (Fat White Family, Goat Girl, Dead Pretties & more) the EP is the latest material from the band since stand-alone single 'Blood Pump' released in 2018, following their 2017 EP, The House That Doubt Built.
