Premiered last night by Annie Mac as her Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1,
Another Sky release their brand new single ‘Fell In Love With The City’. The ambitious and euphoric track is lifted from their newly announced debut album, 'I Slept On The Floor', out on August 7 on Fiction Records.
"I hate breakup songs. I don't know why, it’s the most universal feeling. Maybe because the world has so many of them. Moving to London was a dramatic shift from small-town life where it didn’t even occur to me I could do music, where this vision of me as a housewife who never amounted to anything felt inescapable, in to a bigger world, of people from all over, of new ideas and a new version of myself,” says vocalist Catrin Vincent.
The track comes with a video, directed by Vincent. “We asked if any of our fans had an old mini DV tape camera, and they came through (thanks so much Peter Kavanagh, Victoria Wai and Henry Kenyon). We tried to capture the excitement of being on the road for the first time, replicating the feeling of moving to London seven years ago. “Fell In Love With The City” is the second song we ever wrote as a band and we wanted to make a video that embodied the way you'd film a partner, but you're filming a city instead."
The band have also announced a headline show in London at EartH for November 11, as part of their already announced run of UK dates through November and December. Pre-sale tickets for London will be available at 10am on Thursday June 25 with general sale the following day. Tickets for the rest of the tour are on sale now.
