You may remember Spector had an EP due in January, that mysteriously never appeared… well, it’s ok now – ‘Ex-Directory’ is coming later this month.
Due on Friday, 9th March they’re previewing the release with another track, too; check out ‘Fine Not Fine’ below.
Frontman Fred says of the track: “‘Fine Not Fine’ came from a session where I panicked I wasn’t writing enough songs so tried to finish ten in a week. I think I only got to two but they both ended up on this EP.
“This one was a stream of consciousness inspired by the more self-loathing corners of sad twitter – looking at the state of your life a third of the way through and realising it’s just a veneer or an unconvincing brave face.
“A Spector listener (I don’t really feel comfortable with the word fan) once told me our lyrics were good because every line could be an Instagram caption. In which case they’re going to love this one.
“It’s also our fastest song to date for some reason – faster than Chevy Thunder which was 180bpm. Too fast if anything.”
Spector are also hitting the road soon for their first tour of 2018, with a run that includes a night at the Scala in London on 24th May. You can also catch them at Handmade Festival in Leicester on the 5th.
