It's cut from 'Bark Your Head Off, Dog', the follow up to 2015's 'Painted Shut', which is due out on April 6 through Saddle Creek.
Speaking about the track, songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Frances Quinlan said:
“Karl Ove Knausgaard wrote a great book called A Time for Everything. I'd say it inspired a lot of little moments, in this song especially. At one point he writes about Cain and Abel, but approaches it with a far more intimate, even mundane lens, completely unlike the Bible, which is pretty bare of any personal description. As you spend a few days with them, Cain becomes increasingly sympathetic. It's a funny thing trying to examine beliefs. Sympathy and understanding complicate everything too much I suppose.”
