Premiered on BBC Radio 1 last night (January 23) as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record in the World, Anteros release their new single ‘Drive On’ and announce a UK headline tour, including a date at Scala, London.
Ahead of their debut album ‘When We Land’, recorded at The Distillery with Mercury Prize-winning producer Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Marika Hackman, Bloc Party), is set for release via Distiller Records on March 22. The nostalgic, sun-soaked Americana sonics and a mesmeric riff reminiscent of 90s No Doubt, the track's buoyant melody and festival-ready hook directly contrast the track’s topical subject matter.
“‘Drive On’ came days after reading about the Great Pacific garbage patch - a floating island of garbage which is estimated to be twice the size of Texas," says frontwoman Laura Hayden. "This is happening everywhere, all over the world. Recent reports claim there are an estimated 150 million metric tons of plastic circulating in our oceans. We contribute to the deterioration of our planet every day by littering and using non-biodegradable materials, resulting in around 8 million metric tons of plastic ending up in our oceans per year. In a world where 70% of the earth’s surface is water - and 97% of all the water on earth comes from the ocean - this is unsustainable. Attention: this is not a drill.”
