Mount Kimbie have shared "Shipwreck" as the latest offering from their highly anticipated fourth studio album, The Sunset Violent.

"Shipwreck" follows on from "Empty & Silent", featuring long-term collaborator King Krule, and "Fishbrain".

Speaking on the single, Mount Kimbie says “just a couple of days until album release and here’s the third and final single from us - the song is called Shipwreck. This was one of the earliest instrumental demos we made for The Sunset Violent… and has always been a core part of the storyline of this album. We came up with the video concept with Duncan Loudon one evening and Jay Izzard did a great job directing and editing - all came together really quickly. Thanks to all the crew who helped to make it possible!”

The forthcoming album picks up where Mount Kimbie’s last studio album, 2017’s Love What Survives left off, and was written in California’s Yucca Valley, a scant Western town with a history of alleged UFO sightings before being finished in London

The Sunset Violent is set for release on 5 April via Warp, and is available to pre-order now.
