Kagoule have dropped a brand new single, and announced a new album too.
Fresh cut ‘Bad Saliva’ is taken from full-length ‘Strange Entertainment’, which is set to arrive later this year. The band are joining the Alcopop! Records roster for the release.
Currently on tour with Drenge, the band explain: “Bad Saliva is a track about turning off the path you find yourself on; the temptation to make a change and the anxieties of then making it.”
Speaking about that new album, frontman Cai Burns reveals: “We always felt this pressure early on to decide what type of band we were going to be and this record is an exercise in our self-confidence as a band by being all of them at once.”
“We think we’ve written an album that doesn’t have a direct comparison in guitar music. Lyrically, I think this album is much more mature. I’ve found myself writing songs as a healing process for certain events or to capture moments that I don’t want to forget. I still mask them in fantasy for the fun of it but the topics of each song are more personal and the lyrics far more direct.”
Produced by MJ from Hookworms, and mixed by Spring King’s Tarek Musa in two separate sessions (“we ran out of money”) over the period of a couple of years, you can check out the tracklist for ‘Strange Entertainment’, plus that new track ‘Bad Saliva’, below.
