The Mysterines have unleashed a brand-new single, Stray,
from their upcoming second album.
The Merseyside four-piece are set to follow up
2022 debut Reeling with new album Afraid Of Tomorrows on June 7 via Fiction
Records, with vocalist/guitarist Lia Metcalfe calling the release a “mirror
where you find you’re nothing more than a formless being, one made from
celestial constellations – of traumas, of the old and new, mistakes, addiction,
fear and happiness, loneliness, but ultimately a desire for life and the fight
to keep living. It’s a collage of what’s been lost and of love unbounded.”
Meanwhile, Lia says that their first single from the album “focuses
on the aimless and untamed nature of the polarities of behaviour that we
experience when dealing with suffering. Whether it’s guilt, paranoia or
unexplained feelings of grandiosity. Often when the hands of loneliness have a
firm grip over one’s eyes it can turn dangers into open doors inviting you in.
We find a certain point of no return and we’re often led astray.”
