Working Men’s Club have shared new single, ‘X‘ the first new music from the band since their acclaimed self-titled debut was released in the autumn of 2020. They have also announced tour dates for November, with tickets on sale today at 9am.
If the album was the band’s statement of intent, then ‘X’ is the delivery, message and action. The track is a synth rock anthem which confirms the widespread notion that this is band with a sound unique to the rest of the field today – and that sound is still developing and progressing. ‘X’ was recorded, produced and mixed by Ross Orton, whilst the video was directed by the bands visual team, Steve Hockett and IMPA TV.
Talking about the video Steve said: “The video is a visual exploration of the line “there’s no start to this end”. Shot in a big ex-industrial fridge by IMPATV, we filmed Syds live performance with graphic projections using live analogue video feedback.“
Having just played a set premiering the new track at this year’s virtual 6 Music festival, the band have announced a headline UK tour in November, culminating in their biggest show to date at the Brixton Electric in London. The full list of shows is as follows:
