Various Cruelties have announced details of a new single 'Great Unknown' which will be released on Sunday 1st January 2012 through Hideout Recordings – this follows their October debut for the label, 'Chemicals'.
'Great Unknown' is taken from their debut album which is due in early spring 2012 and recorded with Tony Hoffer (who has worked with Beck, Goldfrapp, Foster the People). 'Great Unknown' takes indie and soul influences and moulds them into thrilling new shapes. Singer Liam O'Donnell commented: “I don’t think I’d ever want to be retro, I just wanted to use those influences and make a modern, northern soul-feeling record. And we didn’t want it to be too polished. Your debut needs to have that rawness.”
Check out the video for 'Great Unknown' below.
