Death From Above, who have now dropped the 1979 from their name, have returned with a new single, Freeze Me.
The track, which was premiered by MistaJam as his 'Hottest Record In The World' on BBC Radio 1 last night, will be released on June 9. Speaking about it, bassist and keyboardist Jesse Keeler said:
“I feel like you should be trying different things, whether subconsciously or consciously. You’ve got to stretch out the pizza dough of your idea and see how big you can make it creatively. We both wanted to see how far we could take it as Death From Above. Once we started working on music, it seemed like this was going to be a record where the very idea of what our band is evolved.”
Vocalist and drummer Sebastien Grainger also commented:
“It’s meant to be felt and stimulate you on an emotional level. We tried to make something that excites and surprises us. My journey is that of enlightenment all the time and seeking some form of truth. There’s enough fiction in the world. We’re not going to tell you what to believe. That’s up to you.”
The duo made it clear during their Radio 1 interview that the new track does not necessarily mean a new album is imminent, but they did say that fans wouldn't have to wait another 10 years as they did for 'The Physical World' to follow up 'You're a Woman, I'm a Machine'.
