Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes share “melancholic bop” ‘Brambles’
Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes have released a new song in the form of “melancholic bop” ‘Brambles’.
The mid-paced song is the second single to be taken from the duo’s upcoming fifth album ‘Dark Rainbow’, which will land on January 26 via International Death Cult. It follows the album’s lead single ‘Man Of The Hour’.
‘Brambles’ is a self-reflective track that serves as, in the words of a press release, “a plea for perfect love”. Speaking more about the track, Frank Carter said: “‘Brambles’ is a melancholic bop born from the bramble thorns of love we let grow around us until we are tangled with no method of escaping unscathed.
“Like our neural pathways become stronger and deeper with each unconscious action, the thorns of love hook deeper and the brambles wrap tighter until we are barely recognisable and even our loved ones can no longer comfort us or lead us to safety for fear of being cut and torn themselves. An ode to the passion of love and a warning not to get lost in it when you go looking.”
The music video for ‘Brambles’, meanwhile, sees Carter walking through the woods while being pursued by a yeti-like creature made of grass, who he later ends up in a tussle with.
