Kate Jackson has sharedd her new solo single, The End of Reason.

The track is taken from the former Long Blondes vocalist's debut solo album, ‘British Road Movies’, which is due to arrive on May 20 through Hoo Ha Records. Discussing the song, Jackson said:

“[the song is] a post Orwellian vision of a society in which nothing makes sense. The lines between right and wrong have become confused, and there is no longer a sense of what is real and what is not. I lived in Sheffield for nearly 10 years and there's a place on the outskirts of the city called Valley Centertainment which is just themed restaurants, a multiplex cinema and a bowling alley. It has its own tram stop but it's a false reality. 

I used to love it there because it was supposed to be escapist and utopian but in actual fact felt like being in The Truman Show. False walls, 24 hour CCTV, microwaved world cuisine, enough parking spaces for thousands of people, empty. When I wrote the song I was thinking about the extremes of reality TV and how social media blurs the lines between what should be private and public. What starts off as simple entertainment becomes warped and harmful, until eventually our lives are worthless unless played out in a public arena."

Backed by her band, the Wrong Moves, Jackson will play headline dates in April, May and June with a stop at Brighton’s Great Escape and an in store at London’s Rough Trade East to be accompanied by shows in Bury St Edmunds , Cambridge, London, Glasgow and Sheffield.
