PINS share suave, sinister post-punk cut "Trouble"

15 April 2016, 10:45 | Written by Laurence Day

PINS are revealing their new single/video "Trouble", a track from their upcoming Record Store Day release, on Best Fit.

"Trouble" is a slithering, skulking post-punk song with schlocky B-movie horror organs and riffs that feel like needles on nailbeds. Although its strange and sinister, this is intoxicating - with its reliance on bass and percussion and dirty licks, it's a catalyst for lust.

Sarah Jenny Johnson and Olivier Richomme have directed the clip, which is shot in striking black and white and full of intense close ups, which only serve to heighten the song's sultry nature.

"Trouble" was recorded at Strangeway Studios - where they recorded their debut EP four years ago - with Martin Hurley and Daniel Broomhall. The quintet's Faith Vern says of the track's creation: “There is a nice symmetry to it - we travelled to the other side of the earth to record our last album, toured here there and everywhere then ended up back at home in Manchester. It was weird to stand in the same spot to sing, thinking about everything that had happened between then and now. 'Trouble' was written quickly in our rehearsal room. Lois played this Cramps-esque guitar part and we built it up from there - I thought the music was filthy and deserved some sexy words.”

The limited edition red 10" will also feature "I'll Get Mine" (also brand new) and a Bernard + Edith edit of "Trouble". It's out tomorrow (16 April) at record stores across the UK.

Wild Nights is out now via Bella Union.
