Spector will embark on a full tour of the UK in May after making their live return at London’s Omeara venue at the start of this year.
The band have also shared more from their Ex-Directory EP in the form of Fine Not Fine. “Fine Not Fine came from a session where I panicked I wasn’t writing enough songs so tried to finish ten in a week,” Fred MacPherson says.
“I think I only got to two but they both ended up on this EP. This one was a stream of consciousness inspired by the more self loathing corners of sad twitter – looking at the state of your life a third of the way through and realising it’s just a veneer or an unconvincing brave face.”
“A Spector listener (I don’t really feel comfortable with the word fan) once told me our lyrics were good because every line could be an Instagram caption. In which case they’re going to love this one. It’s also our fastest song to date for some reason – faster than Chevy Thunder which was 180bpm. Too fast if anything.”
