The new Manic Street Preachers song Dylan And Caitlin is a ‘conversation between Dylan and Caitlin Thomas at the apex of their alcohol soaked relationship’ according to James Dean Bradfield.
The track is available now and will also be a part of the band’s new album Resistance Is Futile when it is released on April 13th. “The story itself rolls through their relationship – drinking, fighting and ended up broken by America,” Nicky Wire added.
“The conversational nature of the lyrics lent themselves to a duet so we asked Catherine AD (aka the Anchoress) to provide the female perspective. She’s a hugely talented kindred spirit.”
