Dublin post punk / indie rock / alternative band SCATTERED ASHES have unleashed their new single “Kingdom“ alongside a video.
The song serves as the first taste of their long-awaited sophomore EP ‘All That Is Solid Melts Into Air‘, due out on June 14th via Fatal Vision/Blowtorch Records. Pre-order it here.
With the groundbreaking new single, the band continue to expand their sound. An exploration of sex, death and the idea of rebirth, ‘Kingdom’ draws influences in its sonic palette from Massive Attack, Portishead, and New Order, utilizing samples, synthesizers, and sequencers.
‘Kingdom’ is a reflection on the acute sense of loss felt at the end of an intense physical relationship and the possibility of rebirth in its aftermath. The track examines the sanctifying nature of intimacy and how we as humans find our purpose in its ultimate end.
The band uses powerful biblical imagery to enclose this sense of salvation: “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, is this the makings of heaven, a moment of trust.”
