Preoccupations share ferocious new track ‘Degraded’

Preoccupations have unveiled ‘Degraded’, the second track to be taken from their new self-titled album.

A collision of jagged guitars and glittery synths, ‘Degraded’ finds frontman Matt Flegel lamenting on the human race being “consistent in our flaws” and “incapable of abstract thought”. It’s a dark and twisted trip from the four-piece, linking up with ominous lead single ‘Anxiety’.

‘Preoccupations’ is released on 16th September via Jagjaguwar, one year on from the group’s ‘Viet Cong’ debut, released under their previous name.

Preoccupations play the following UK dates:

NOVEMBER
05 Leeds, Brudenell Social Club
06 Manchester, Gorilla
07 London, Oval Space
08 Bristol, Exchange
09 Brighton, Haunt
