The Manic Street Preachers have shared the second track from their forthcoming album Resistance Is Futile.
Following on from International Blue is Distant Colours, out now ahead of the LP’s release on April 13th. “The main themes of Resistance Is Futile are memory and loss; forgotten history; confused reality and art as a hiding place and inspiration,” the band have said.
Distant Colours’ video was filmed in Wales and sees actress Sarah Sayuri reprising her role from International Blue’s promo.
The Manics will tour the UK after their new album’s release, opening at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on April 23rd. From there, gigs in Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester, Llandudno, Leeds, London and Cardiff take them into May.
