Ahead of their debut album release later this year, hotly tipped Manchester quintet, The Guest List, have today released new single If Ever Your Devil Is Kind.
It is the latest track to be taken from the forthcoming record, Something Real, out August 28th.
It arrives with a new music video (below), directed by Valentina Khodnevich.
The band headed to Bergen (Norway) to record the debut with collaborator Matias Tellez, having previously worked with The Coral’s James Skelly on their material.
The album tackles everything from mental health, anxiety and male suicide to domestic violence, climate collapse and “society’s growing appetite for outrage.”
And you can hear the new music on The Guest List’s biggest tour to date in November, including a big headline show at London’s Scala.
Along with summer festival season, including an appearance at Reading & Leeds, they have also announced seven in-store dates in support of the album’s release (see in full below).
