Swervedriver have announced their return by sharing their heavy new single ‘Mary Winter’, the first track to be taken from their upcoming new album ‘Future Ruins’.
The Oxford band will follow up their fifth studio album ‘I Wasn’t Born to Lose You’ (released in 2015) with the new record, which’ll be their first under a new deal with Mogwai‘s label Rock Action. ‘Future Ruins’ is set for release on January 25, 2019.
Narrated by a traveller who is “hurtling away from this world”, vocalist/guitarist Adam Franklin said of the track: “In ‘Mary Winter’, the character is a spaceman who’s trying to remember what life is really like. There’s a lot of foreboding with regard to the future on this album.”
Speaking about Swervedriver’s latest return to action, Franklin remarked: “I love being back in this band. We’re playing places that we’ve either not played in a long time or new places, like Singapore, where there were 20 year old kids there and they’re singing the words to the new songs…
“We don’t want to be the band that just plays the old albums. We’re glad to have a whole bunch of new songs. We’re on it again.”
