Post War Glamour Girls reveal "Welfare By Prozac" from upcoming Swan Songs LP

23 August 2016, 11:30 | Written by Laurence Day

Post War Glamour Girls are sharing their Too Pure Singles Club track "Welfare By Prozac" on Best Fit.

The song will appear on their upcoming album Swan Songs, which is slated for release next year.

It's being released super-early as part of Too Pure's celebration of Jumbo Records, the Leeds institution celebrating their 45th birthday next month. The song will appear alongside Menace Beach's "Hex Breaker" for a very exciting split 7" available via the Singles Club and Jumbo Records itself from 30 September.

"Welfare By Prozac" was recorded along the north coast of Scotland in the village of Skerray - or, more precisely, in a makeshift studio-van that weas parked in Skerray. Jamie Lockhart and Lee Smith of Greenmount Studios (The Cribs, Pulled Apart By Horses) helped record the song, which "isn't representative of [Swan Songs] as a whole."

"We could've released something a little less intrusive on the ears," the band say of the single. "But this felt pretty vital in light of the news we received whilst we were out there and the state of things in general. We're not ones to be overtly political or tell anybody what to think. It's rather crass to do that and a huge part of me fears we'd be out of a full-time hobby if the revolution was to be televised and we actually got what we wanted… Alas."
