Fickle Friends Return With New Single Play

• 31st Mar 2014

Somewhat ironically, we expect that Fickle Friends probably have quite a few of their own based on the transient nature of pop fans, but with singles this good it might not really matter all that much.

New single “PLAY.” is out now via Killing Moon Records and is already one of the catchiest indie-pop tracks we’ve heard so far this year, marking them out as serious contenders who are already setting the blogging world alight for obvious reasons.

“We chose PLAY as lyrically it’s kind of a follow on from SWIM. We also wanted to release something that contrasted with our first single musically” explains lead vocalist Natti Shiner and added “It’s a little more fragile in parts, but also a bit more…. playful.”

“’PLAY is about seeing someone who’s losing their passion. It’s a continuation of the characters from SWIM. She’s getting nostalgic as he becomes less interested in everything.”

To launch the single, the band will be hosting a single release party at The Shacklewell Arms in Dalston (London) on April 9th before they spring into festival mode leading into the summer. You can catch them perform at The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City & Secret Garden Party.
