Tampa rabble Merchandise have shared their first new music since their 2014 album ‘After The End’.
Their new single ‘Flower of Sex’ takes a dark swerve down a narrow path of knotted vines and shadowey overgrowth; chiming guitars shrouded in echo, while Carson Cox’s deep baritone way leads the way, insisting “your secret’s safe” and elsewhere, suggesting “pour your body open”. Raunchy stuff!
Merchandise have also shared a video to match, shot in New York, Italy, and the band’s hometown of Florida. It’s directed by Cox.
The band have also announced a load of tour dates across the U.S. this autumn, with a flying visit to London in November. Check out all of those dates, and watch the video for Merchandise’s brand new song ‘Flower of Sex’ below.
