Wings of Desire release new single, "Some old Place I Used To Know"

Wings of Desire – AKA James Taylor and Chloe Little – have released the new single ‘Some old Place I Used To Know’ and announce two UK shows.

“Some Old Place I Used To Know explores the idea of an ever-changing cultural landscape. We have all come accustomed to think that we are constantly evolving but what if things weren’t actually getting better but worse. As we are being pushed towards the digitalisation of culture and as our creativity is increasingly undervalued and attention harvested," the band explains.

"One of the best acts of rebellion in this climate is to stare out of the fucking window, get lost in your own imagination for a few hours or speak to someone in the real here and now. And if none of those work for you try making something beautiful. You see you’re dangerous when you make something beautiful, something that could snap someone out of the illusion and light up their heart. That’s why they like to keep us ‘busy’.”

The single is taken from previously announced new EP Shut Up & Listen which comes with an exclusive cassette – all the proceeds of which will go towards community project The Long Table in their native Stroud, which is under threat of eviction.

Shut Up & Listen is set for release on 30 August, and is available to pre-order now. For information on the newly announced shows, visit wingsofdesire.co.
