Manic Street Preachers Premiere New Single "Decline & Fall"

Welsh rock / alternative trio Manic Street Preachers have premiered their new single “Decline & Fall“. 

The song, produced by regular collaborators Dave Eringa and Loz Williams and mixed by Caesar Edmunds (Beach House, Suede, Wet Leg), is out now. Grab it here.

It’s first taste of their as-yet-untitled fifteenth album, the follow-up to 2021’s The Ultra Vivid Lament, due out next year.

Inspired by The Skids, Gran Turismo-era The Cardigans, and The War on Drugs, Decline & Fall is “fully energised and utterly euphoric, a joyous anthem for an era of self-hatred.” 

The band said of the track: “Musically with ‘Decline & Fall’ we tried to create forward motion – a song which harnesses the past to propel it into the future – the lyric is one of realisation and understanding – of celebrating the tiny miracles that still exist whilst accepting and embracing managed decline”.

Take a listen now.
