Benefits share new single "Missiles"

“We wanted to release a song that emphasised our commitment to still create wildly angry music, but in an unconventional way," explains frontman Kingsley Hall. "There’s no shouting or obvious sloganeering here, yet it’s still seething with fury. Lyrically it’s an attempt to look at our own comfortable mundane western lives and question why the terror and horror of others can fade so far into the background that it barely registers when it’s mentioned on the news or pops up on your phone."

"The soundscapes that Robbie [Major] and James [Welsh, producer] created for the track match the tension in the lyric, slowly building the intensity to an uncomfortable finale," he continues. "In the past we’d have tried to get the same effect by simply adding big blast beat drums or a slab of concrete noise. With this song, and indeed the whole album, we felt it was important to not rely on old tricks, to try something new, to push ourselves.”
