Manic Street Preachers have released new single, Decline & Fall, the band’s first new music since The Ultra Vivid Lament in September 2021.

The lead track from their forthcoming 15th studio album, the Manics said: “Musically with Decline & Fall we tried to create forward motion – a song which harnesses the past to propel it into the future – the lyric is one of realisation and understanding – of celebrating the tiny miracles that still exist whilst accepting and embracing managed decline.”

Listen to Decline & Fall below:

Utterly Euphoric

Taking musical inspiration from The Skids, Gran Turismo era The Cardigans, alongside the driving pulse of The War On Drugs, Decline & Fall is fully energised and utterly euphoric, a joyous anthem for an era of self-hatred.

Recorded at the band’s Door To The River studio in Newport and Rockfield Studios, Monmouth, it was produced by regular collaborators Dave Eringa and Loz Williams and mixed by Caesar Edmunds (Beach House/Suede/Wet Leg).

The band have just completed a sold out UK co-headline tour with Suede which received incredible reviews across the board. Their next live show will be Radio 2 In The Park at Moor Park in Preston on 8 September.
