Spector have made a welcome return with a new song, called ‘Untitled in D’.
The band have had a pretty quiet 2017 after promising “new music and new shows” way back at the start of the year, and premiered this new ‘un on Huw Stephens earlier this week.
“‘Untitled In D’s been burning a hole in Spector’s pocket for a little while now,” Fred explains. “I wrote the bones of it pretty quickly then Jed came through and channelled the ghost of John Frusciante on guitar and we knew we were on to something. After the sheen of our first two albums it was exciting capturing something simple and irreverent – the sound of us playing in a room rather than playing in a computer.”
They’ve been working on new material since the release of their second album ‘Moth Boys’ in 2015. They also released the single ‘Born in the EU’ in the lead up to the EU referendum in 2016. The track forms part of a new EP, ‘Ex-Directory’, set to drop in January.
Untitled in D is 1/4 of the Ex-Directory EP. The other three songs will be out in the new year.
