Album artwork
Press info: “The Manic Street Preachers return with their most urgent album in years. This is a record of opposites colliding – of dialectics trying to find a path of resolution. While the music has an effervescence and an elegiac uplift, most of the words deal with the cold analysis of the self, the exception being the three lyrics by James (Dean Bradfield) which look for and hopefully find answers in people, their memories, language and beliefs.”
Singles (shared so far): Decline & Fall / Hiding In Plain Sight
– DECLINE & FALL –
Frisky and zippy pop elation.
– HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT –
First ever Manics single with Nick Wire
on vocals and it works damn fine.
UK Dates 2025
(More TBA)
Just a slight correction, it’s the first Manics SINGLE with Nicky singing, he’s sang lead on other tracks.
Of course, you’re totally right. Should be ‘first single’ instead of ‘first song’. Thanks for your alert and have a great 2025.
