The Mysterines have unleashed a brand-new single, Stray, from their upcoming second album.

The Merseyside four-piece are set to follow up 2022 debut Reeling with new album Afraid Of Tomorrows on June 7 via Fiction Records, with vocalist/guitarist Lia Metcalfe calling the release a “mirror where you find you’re nothing more than a formless being, one made from celestial constellations – of traumas, of the old and new, mistakes, addiction, fear and happiness, loneliness, but ultimately a desire for life and the fight to keep living. It’s a collage of what’s been lost and of love unbounded.”

Meanwhile, Lia says that their first single from the album “focuses on the aimless and untamed nature of the polarities of behaviour that we experience when dealing with suffering. Whether it’s guilt, paranoia or unexplained feelings of grandiosity. Often when the hands of loneliness have a firm grip over one’s eyes it can turn dangers into open doors inviting you in. We find a certain point of no return and we’re often led astray.”
