London, UK’s Spearmint have released a new single and video from their soon-to-be-released album. “Since Bowie Died” comes from their new LP Holland Park, which is due out Friday, 10 Sep 2021, via WIAIAWYA and Hitback Records, and is a follow-up to the band’s 2019 album Are You From The Future?.
Shirley Lee of the band provides more insight into the song:
Since Bowie Died” isn’t about David Bowie – it’s about the rest of us. I remember hearing the news at the start of 2016: it didn’t seem real. Then as things came to pass that ear and since, I felt like our world had become a harsher place from that moment on, as though it had ‘opened the floodgates’. I know others felt the same way, so we wanted to capture this feeling in the song, but add some hope too.
You can check out the lush, animated video below, and visit Bandcamp to pre-order the album.
