Baba Ali have unveiled new song "Black + Blue" from their double a-side single featuring last month's "Living It Up".

After announcing their double a-side single with "Living It Up" last month, Baba Ali are back with the second track "Black + Blue".

Vocalist Baba Doherty says, "We ended up reacting to the beginning of lockdown by writing a tonne of new songs in my basement in New Jersey. Some of the tracks ended up forming a mixtape that we put out on Bandcamp. "Black + Blue" was a song from that collection of songs, and one we were really happy with at the time, so this was an interesting opportunity to open the track up again and see how our experiences since that period had changed our approach to recording."

He adds, "It is a song I am always trying to convince Nik (guitarist/synths) to add to our live set, but I don't even think he can even remember the tuning he used for it. Hopefully giving the song an official release will kind of force his hands on that one."

Baba Ali's "Black + Blue" track is out now via Yard Act's Zen F.C. They'll play London's Village Underground tomorrow (17 February) with Yard Act. Visit babaalimusic.com for tickets.
