Merchandise detail new record A Corpse Wired For Sound, share new single "End Of The Week"
Florida's Merchandise have detailed new record A Corpse Wired For Sound, and shared latest preview "End Of The Week".
We've already had "Flower Of Sex" - in our recent Q&A with the band, frontman Carson Cox says of that single: "The song’s language and violent imagery is meant as an erotic farce partly inspired by JG Ballard’s Why I Want To Fuck Ronald Reagan. It’s about shock but its also about a truth hiding in ourselves."
Speaking about the new single in a press statement, Cox says it's "really about personal reflection and horror". Of the Michelangelo Antonioni-inspired video, created by Cox himself, the Merchandise frontman continues: “The smashed mirror isn't just a symbol of death. It's the broken image of humanity reflecting back at everyone when they read the news. Reality is an unbearable pill to swallow this year. Somehow the evil people that make up society can still wake up everyday and look at themselves in the mirror.”
A Corpse Wired For Sound is out 23 September on 4AD. It follows 2014's After The End.
