“‘I Don’t Want To Go To Mars’ has all the distorted bombast of White Lies’ best anthems neatly packed into a short story,” Charles Cave says.
White Lies have shared the latest track from their sixth album As I Try Not To Fall Apart ahead of its release on February 18th, 2022.
I Don’t Want To Go To Mars comes with a video which, although not initially planned, was put together by the band due to their feeling that the, ‘strong imagery of the lyrics leant itself towards a visual accompaniment’.
“Using old archive footage, an iPhone, and our very own DIY spirit, we have pieced together a visual narrative to run alongside the song,” Jack Lawrence-Brown explains.
“A full force rebuttal of a concept that’s stalked people around the world for generations now; that the grass will be greener on the other side – of the galaxy.”
