The Itch offer up new single ‘No More Sprechgesang’

Luton-based dance disruptors The Itch have shared one final preview of their forthcoming debut album, this time in the form of the catchily-titled ‘No More Sprechgesang’.

The track gets lifted from the duo’s first full-length, ‘It’s The Hope That Kills You’, which is set for release later this week (Friday 10th April) via Fiction Records and I OH YOU, and will feature their previous singles ‘Space In The Cab’, ‘Ursula’ and Drugdealer’.

“I wrote the words ‘no more sprechgesang’ a few years ago in a notebook at a really bad gig, being deadly serious, along with a long list of other things I wanted to see the back of,” the band’s Simon Tyrie has said of their latest offering. “But when I rediscovered the line in my notebook I just found it really funny and stupid. Now when I sing ‘no more sprechgesang’ it feels less like a call to arms and more like a melancholic ode to the scene we once belonged to, which at the time of writing I wanted to burn down. Journalists and musos alike love it because it makes them feel seen and everyone else likes it because it’s stupid and fun and has a lot of cowbell. Everyone’s a winner.” Check out the video for the track below.

The band also have a slew of live shows scheduled, including a series of instore events around the album’s release, and a series of festival slots later this summer - dig into their schedule underneath the player.
