Boston Manor have revealed another new track from their forthcoming second album ‘Welcome To The Neighbourhood’, out via Pure Noise Records on September 7.
‘Bad Machine’ follows lead cut 'Halo' from the record, which was produced by Mike Sapone (Taking Back Sunday, Mayday Parade, Public Enemy).
The video clip for the track was directed and edited by the band’s Henry Cox, with Tom Hancox in the role of DOP, and is a “film noir” look at the their hometown of Blackpool.
“When we composed the song we already had accompanying visuals in mind for it and when recording the album we had films playing in the background that we thought would match up with the sounds we were making,” says Henry. “We knew we wanted to capture some of the sleaziness of the track & condense the video down to a sequence of ‘moments’, almost like a movie trailer. The song has such massive differences in dynamics between the verses & choruses so it was important that we captured that in the video.”
The band have also announced their biggest headline tour to date which will see them traverse the UK & Europe through September and October, including a date at London’s Electric Ballroom on September 22. Boston Manor will also be playing a number of special one-off shows around the record’s release. See below for further details.
