Royal Blood playing Leeds Festival 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Royal Blood have shared visuals for the single which signalled their return last month.
Trouble’s Coming is the first taste of the duo’s third album which should be out during the first half of next year, and draws on the ‘rigid dance beats’ which Mike Kerr has said played a big part in getting the record off the ground.
“The breakthrough was realising that there was real common ground between that and what we’d done before,” he explained. “It’s that AC/DC aspect: where the quality that makes the riffs seem so cutting is because of that beat.”
“Although on the surface we were stepping outside what we’d done before, it didn’t feel at all unnatural; it felt like we were returning to music we’d loved from the very beginning: Daft Punk, Justice, things that were really groove-orientated. It was all about the beat. It felt like familiar territory, but something we’d censored in ourselves.”
