EP review: VOWER – apricity
Ex-Palm Reader and Black Peaks members come together as VOWER and astound on debut EP…
What a band.
Black Peaks have unveiled a brand-new single, Home, taken from their just-announced All That Divides album.
The record – the follow-up to brilliant debut Statues - will be out on October 5 via Rise Records/BMG (pre-order it right here). Following the album's release, the band will also be heading out on the road for a headline tour – keep scrolling to see the full list of dates.
Of new single Home, the video of which you can watch below, frontman Will Gardner says: "We were writing the song against the backdrop of a lot of uncertainty with regards to personal and political identity. We were out on tour in Mainland Europe in mid-2016, during a period where we as British Citizens felt like decisions being made on behalf of our Home did not represent us. There is a uneasy feeling of severance that happens when you are not physically at home during a time of transformation. Our feelings of disconnection and division from our country and it’s people, coupled with tour-fatigue and cabin fever, made for some of the most difficult times we have experienced, as a band, as friends, and as people."
Pick up this week's issue of Kerrang! for a huge new interview on all things All That Divides.
