Jehnny Beth has shared her new single
'Obsession', alongside details of a European tour in support of her forthcoming album '
You Heartbreaker, You'.
The track, written with longtime collaborator
Johnny Hostile, was recorded and produced at their 20L07 studio in France. It serves as the first preview of her upcoming Fiction Records release.
"'Obsession' is the first song Johnny and I wrote together for this album," Beth explains. "The lyrics 'you heartbreaker, you' gave the title to the album but, more than that, the song gave the album its tone. It is probably one of the most detailed tracks on the record. The song obviously deals with the subject of primal obsession. It has this spiralling repetitive tension to the point of explosion, going from a whispered confession to a gnarly scream in the blink of an eye, which was fun to make – imagine Tricky and Jonathan Davis making a song with Adam Jones from Tool! In my head anyway."
