Spring King get paranoid for new ‘They’re Coming After You’ track

Beloved barmy bunch Spring King are chasing shadows in their paranoid, pent-up new song, ‘They’re Coming After You’.

Concerned with ghosts and the voices in your head, the title-track from Tarek Musa and co.’s new EP doesn’t just chase inner demons. It also checks in with 24/7 surveillance, hack-happy states and the idea of an above force constantly keeping score. As ever, it’s delivered with a melody-soaked charm, where simple hooks share space with outlandish production. ‘They’re Coming After You’ is both a nervous, housed-in window-shutter and an all-inclusive anthem.

Spring King’s new EP is out 20th April on Handsome Dad Records, while the title-track links up with ‘City’ for a US release on Mermaid Avenue.
