White Lies have released a new single called Breakdown Days.
Following Trouble In America, it's the second of four new songs to be lifted from the upcoming bonus edition of their latest album, 'As I Try Not To Fall Apart', which is scheduled to arrive digitally on October 21. The record was originally released back in February.
Anchored by a looping, menacing piano melody, the dark pop tune builds to an ethereal synth-based chorus. The band's Harry McVeigh commented:
"Breakdown Days was written in the heart of the first UK lockdown. The song reflects my mood at the time, I felt trapped in many ways not being able to tour or to work. The lyrics are about yearning to reach out about your problems but because you're living together, in close quarters, it means you can’t totally lose your shit! I always enjoy dressing up quite dark lyrics in a pop song and I love the contrast in this track. I’m sure we all dress ourselves up sometimes!"
