Listen: Spectrals Reveal New Single ‘A Heartbeat Behind’

Last month, Spectrals revealed that he had completed work on his brand new album, and is all set to follow up his debut ‘Bad Penny’ with ‘Sob Story’ on 3rd June.

He’s also already given a first taste of the full-length in the form of ‘Milky Way’ and now we’ve got a second. This time, it’s the first official single from the record, ‘A Heartbeat Behind’. Due on the 27th May, you can hear a little backstory on the song from Louis Jones himself, below.

“This was the last song I put together for the record and it pushed out a few I’d already got bored of. I’d had the riff for ages but it never felt like a proper song and then the chorus just seemed to hit me, chords, lyrics, the lot. I never write like that really, I usually stew over the lyrics for ages then try and bolt them onto various sets of chords I have. I do remember I’d been listening to a lot of Big Star that week.’

Have a listen to ‘A Heartbeat Behind’ below.



‘Sob Story’ is set for release on 17th June through Wichita Recordings, and they’ll be heading out on a short tour (including dates supporting Frankie & The Heartrsings) prior to that.
