One True Pairing releases new single “Human Frailty”
One True Pairing, AKA Tom Fleming, former Wild Beasts member, has released the brand new single “Human Frailty”, taken from his second solo album, Endless Rain.
“Well we try and we try and it has a good laugh at our expense,” says Tom Fleming on the new track. “It’s not a fight you win. That’s the thing about bravery, it’ll use you up. It doesn’t matter if you see it coming or not. I’ve been listening to a lot of country? In general this sort of wisened country/folk stuff suits me more as I get older.”
It was Christmas in Cumbria, and at the end of 2019 that Fleming felt that he had ran out of road. “It was off the back of a lot of personal difficulties,” he reflects, “a loss of income, a loss of house, everything. It rained solidly for about a week.” Fleming reflected on his life and watched the downpour. “The brown, mucky water rising and the creatures that live in it," became the inspiration for the forthcoming album.
Endless Rain is set for release on 25 October via Domino, and is available to pre-order now.
