Nothing But Thieves have unveiled a new song, Futureproof.
The dark yet energetic track premiered on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's Hottest Record in the World and finds the alt-rockers dropping hip hop influences into their dynamic, groove-ridden sound.
It comes paired with a Jake Jelicich-directed video, which sees them performing the song under moody, auburn lighting. They said:
"Futureproof is about self-preservation; what that means to different people and the lengths that those people would go to achieve it.
"It's designed to be a guitar rock and hip hop hybrid. That can be a bit of an eye roller and it's easy to get wrong, but there's a parallel between some of our heavier songs and the more aggressive side of hip hop, which we wanted to try and get at. It's dark and chromatic and then it's mixed like a hip hop track with loud drums and vocals. The idea was to try and explore that territory in the most authentic and fresh way."
It follows on from the band's third album, 'Moral Panic', released in October 2020. They'll support the record with a UK and Ireland tour in September and October. Tickets are on sale now.
