Black Peaks have signed a new record deal, moving from Sony to Rise Records.
“So hyped to announce that we now call the amazing Rise Records home,” the band revealed. “They’ve been incredible to us so far and we can’t wait to show you what we’re working on together… We’re coming.”
The news is accompanied by new track ’Can’t Swim’, and a support tour with Marmozets to precede their sets at 2000trees, Handmade Festival and ArcTanGent.
Of the single, vocalist Will Gardner explains: “The song was written in response to a very difficult time for the band and myself personally. Since writing ‘Statues’, our political environment has seen a big shift, and some extremely xenophobic and racist comments and actions have been aired in the media, at whom a lot of the anger and fire in these lyrics is directed. Whatever your view is politically, this song deals anxiety, paranoia and insomnia, all stemming from being swept along with a decision you do not agree with.”
