Forest Swords is back with a new double-single - 'Butterfly Effect' and 'Tar'

Forest Swords also has a handful of UK shows planned for November.

Forest Swords is back with a new double-single.

'Butterfly Effect' - which features a previously-unheard vocal sample by Neneh Cherry - and b-side 'Tar' are out now via Ninja Tune.

"The track swirled around as a pure instrumental for a while, a beat I made in the cold factory space in Liverpool I was recording in, some kind of attempt to cope with the psychedelic amounts of pain I was in from a leg injury," Matthew Barnes explains of the single.
