Words: Sam Geary
Red Rum Club share ‘Angeline’, the third and latest single from the band's forthcoming debut album, ‘Matador’, set for worldwide release on January 11 2019 via Modern Sky UK.
One of the first penned tracks by the sextet’s current and complete line up, the motorik beat 'Angeline' tells the tale of a protagonist with a lustful pining for a lover, and offers a through-the-key-hole glimpse into the ensuing gnaw of regret that engulfs them as the lover slips right through their fingers.
“'Angeline' is the first song that was written after Joe “The Blow” on trumpet joined," frontman Fran Doran says. "It's a combination of the Bunnymen-esque guitar lines that we're known for with powerful mariachi brass. We thought it would be a boss song to drive to as it has an undeniable raw power and so we initially named it 'Gasoline', which was later changed to 'Angeline' to make the tune more personal… It’s always been a big feature of our live shows to open with and it's definitely seen as a fan favourite. There's just no other song better to set the mood for a RRC gig.”
