Portsmouth/London post punk/pub-rock band Hotel Lux have returned with their new single “Vice“.
The song, produced by Bill Ryder-Jones, is out now through The state51 Conspiracy, and follows their debut full-length album ‘Hands Across The Creek‘, released earlier this year . Get it here.
Speaking about it, the band said:
“Vice had been a staple on the Lux set list since very early doors. Sadly, it never had its time to shine in a studio and it we didn’t feel it quite sat with what we were trying to do with previous releases. At the latter stages of the Hands Across the Creek sessions, we started bringing this rehashed version of the track back into the mix. We added a new intro, Lewis changed his vocal attack slightly and we played with the pacing of the track a little bit. Alas, it didn’t quite fit with our ambition of the album but we felt it a shame to allow the track to disappear into the abyss.”
