Fatherson have shared a brand new single, ‘Better Friend’

Fatherson have shared a brand new single, ‘Better Friend’.

The track is the fifth to arrive from their forthcoming album, ‘Normal Fears’.

Speaking on the single, frontman Ross Leighton says, “’Better Friend’ is about losing touch with people when you’re growing up and wishing you were better at staying in touch. Sometimes life gets in the way, but if the last few years has taught me anything life is better with the people you love. It’s an anthem about friendship and an apology for letting it slip. It was the first song that I wrote for Normal Fears in my old bedroom in Kilmarnock and it really felt like the first normal fear I had going into the record. It became this reference point for melody and groove that the rest of the record built on. I think everybody has felt a bit out of sorts before and gotten themselves into a space where they lose touch with people that are close to them. This song for me is a reminder to just get back in touch and start to rebuild. I love it!”

Fatherson also recently announced the rescheduling of their headline UK tour which will now take place across May, June, September and October 2022.
