Essex-based dreampop/shoegaze band She’s In Parties have shared their new single “The Man“.
The song is another taste of their upcoming sophomore EP ‘Puppet Show‘, out on October 25 via Submarine Cat. Pre-order it here.
The EP, produced by Stephen Street (The Cranberries, The Smiths), is the band’s most politically driven body music yet. “It’s a timeless topic, people have always and will always sing about injustices, often though, people want an escape and sing about things like love because sometimes that’s easier than telling the truth.” Katie says, “I’m certainly not a political person and would opt for escapism in music, but sometimes there are things that happen in our society or on social media that you just can’t avoid. They’ve been plaguing my mind especially, so I’ve been writing about this stuff a lot more and it has now become a prevalent theme in this next EP”.

Speaking about the single, they say: “This wasn’t an easy song to write but one we felt needed writing. There are a lot of horrible things happening in the world right now and it’s easy to feel helpless to it all. But never forget we are stronger when we come together to fight these injustices. Don’t let ‘The Man’ win.”
