Black Peaks Release 'Electric Fires' Taken From Their Brand New Album 'All That Divides'!
Brighton 4 piece BLACK PEAKS release their huge, brand new single 'Electric Fires'today, Friday 3rd August. It is the 3rd new single this year, and the band will be releasing their hugely anticipated, Adrian Bushby produced (Grammy award winner for Muse, Foo Fighters) 2nd album 'All That Divides', on October 5th through Rise Records/BMG.
BLACK PEAKS front man Will Gardner on the new single 'Electric Fires':
"'Electric Fires' was one of the first songs we wrote for 'All That Divides', and was one that had a few live outings towards the end of the Status tour. The song in many ways is one of our most straight-forward. Lyrically the song is a bit of a sarcastic comment on the beliefs of certain conspiracy theorists, Flat-Earthers etc. Essentially we just had fun with that idea, and wrote a song about how our Alien forefathers came here from Mars at the dawn of civilisation to build the pyramids, which, of course, 100% totally happened.
The band have already released the singles 'Home' and 'Can't Sleep', and the later was a Radio 1 Rock Show Rockest Record and Huw Stevens Single Of The Weekin April, and is the opening track on 'All That Divides'.
Will Gardner on 'All That Divides' - "Lyrically at least, this album represents the fear of a future where freedom is restricted. Over the last two years, we as a band have been incredibly lucky to have been able to travel accross Europe and play our music. The fact this happened to take place during a period where various political changes, at home and abroad, made us focus a lot about the freedom and right to travel. We have seen people, families, relationships and countries divided by conflict and political upheaval, and our reaction to this is a core lyrical theme running through the album."
'All That Divides' is the follow up to the 2016 debut album 'Statues', which was universally acclaimed, saw the band play-listed on Radio 1 with 'Saviour' and tour across Europe with the likes of Architects, Mastodon, System of a Down, Prophets of Rage and Dillinger Escape Plan.
The band will be on a full European tour after album release with some incredible supports in tow.
