The Ninth Wave release Faris Badwan-produced new single "I'm Only Going To Hurt You"
The Ninth Wave have shared their new cut "I'm Only Going To Hurt You", the second taster of their forthcoming Happy Days! EP that's produced by The Horrors' Faris Badwan.
"I'm Only Going To Hurt You" lands after last month's lead single and title-track "Happy Days!".
The band's Haydn Park-Patterson says of the new single, ""I’m Only Going To Hurt You", the second single from our upcoming Happy Days! EP, is a song that has existed in so many forms that it is hard to recognise the original demo and the final recording as the same song. It started out life in the form of one of Haydn’s poems, My Severed Heart, from which the pre chorus and chorus lyrics were taken. Since then it’s been dragged through different arrangements, keys and styles until we almost decided to scrap it. It wasn’t until Calum, Kyalo and Millie reimagined the backbone of the song that things fell into place. The main rhythmic elements of this song were made on Millie’s Elektron Digitakt, using field recordings of scrap bits of metal that surrounded the studio."
He adds, "The song itself is centred around an internal conflict faced after realising the difficulties of a relationship that seemed to be damaged even before it was allowed to flourish."
Happy Days! is produced by The Horrors' lead vocalist Faris Badwan, and was recorded between Black Bay studio on Great Bernera in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland.
