SAINT AGNES RELEASE NEW SINGLE “THE GHOST” | NEW STUDIO ALBUM YOUR GOD FEARING DAYS ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN OUT MAY 29
SPINEFARM RECORDS
London’s Saint Agnes drag you onto the dancefloor with new single “The Ghost”, a blood-rush of punk-industrial beats and midnight euphoria. It’s the fourth glimpse into their forthcoming album Your God Fearing Days Are About To Begin, and their most immediate collision of vulnerability and physicality yet.
Frontperson, Kitty A. Austen, explains, “I wrote it about often feeling like I disappear, I become invisible in certain settings, certain situations. Words fail me and I merge into the background. I envisioned dancing, surrounded by people, but feeling completely on my own. It’s the soundtrack to a hot, sweaty night in a vampire nightclub, the blood rave just before dawn. Euphoria washes over the bodies as the dark driving beats pulsate through the club. We’ve turned my sadness into a banger and now we can dance to it.”
It’s a track that turns isolation into movement, a solitary experience reframed as something communal and physical.
The band-directed video for “The Ghost” will premiere via YouTube on Monday, March 30th @ 7pm.
Your God Fearing Days Are About To Begin is due for release on May 29th via Spinefarm. Pre-order the record HERE.
Kitty’s voice, vision and volatility shape every inch of the band’s evolving world, and she is ably partnered by co-founding member Jon James Tufnell; together they form the creative axis.
Fusing raw industrial power, dark elegance and hedonistic, body-moving intensity, Saint Agnes have created a sound made for sweat-soaked goth club dancefloors. Inspired by the intensity of Nine Inch Nails, the genre-bending chaos of Poppy and the euphoric, cinematic story telling of Lorde, this is music for the club, the stage and the void inside.
Self-confessed “control freaks”, the band obsessively curate every aspect of their work. This time, they pushed further, bringing in mixer Jim Pinder (Sleep Token, Bring Me The Horizon) to sharpen the impact of their production without compromising their vision. The result is their most direct and fully realised record to date.
Having recently played shows with Last Train (in France), Ghostkid (in Germany), Vukovi (in the UK) and a well-received performance at SXSW (in the US) Saint Agnes are now out on the UK road again, with INME.
