Peggy Sue tease fifth album with "Slow Fade", their first new single in three years
London-based twosome Peggy Sue have returned today with buoyant indie jam "Slow Fade", the first taste of their upcoming fifth record.
Rosa Slade and Katy Young are previewing the follow up to 2014's Choir Of Echoes (and standalone AA-side "Substitute"/"Say What You Mean"), which is due out next spring.
In the year's since Choir Of Echoes Slade and Young have been hard at work with the Deep Throat Choir
"Heartbreak takes ages," says Young of the new single's origins. "That's kind of the best and the worst thing about it. I was pretty heartbroken and trying all these tactics to make it finish faster; going out, staying in, talking about it, not talking about. But at some point I realised that when I was okay again, it would be because the love was done. And so 'Slow Fade' is about letting it take its time - partly because you don't really have a choice and partly because a bit of me wanted to make that pretty sadness last as long as I could."
