The Strange Death of Liberal England / TSDOLE / or simply Strange Death are a band who I really hope get the break they deserve (although not to Arcade Fire levels please - The 02 - meh!)
Since following them on many support jaunts for iLiKETRAiNS and Editors last year, I've started seeing them in their own right this year.
Their new album promises to be spectacular, their live set already is. "A Day Another Day" is nothing but a stone cold classic.
Their last single "Flagships" highlighted the progression the band have made since their mini-album and subsequent mini-break from the music scene, their return (with a new drummer and without regular instrument swapping between songs) is more than welcome.
New single "Rising Sea" is even better. I've heard the song played live about five times now, I knew I was going to love the studio version by how infectious it is live – a real sing-along and true anthem in the making - "...drowing in the rising sea...". Listen to it below and get your order in for the limited vinyl release (500 copies all signed and come with a flag!).
The song is out on August 23rd here is a link to order the single, it's signed, comes wrapped in a flag and is awesome!
The album is out September 13th. Pre-order special, signed copies of the album at recordstore and also win the chance to see them live on the forthcoming tour (scheduled for October / November).
