Hercules & Love Affair have shared a new single from the forthcoming album In Amber. It features ANOHNI, marking Andy Butler’s first song with her since “Blind” from Hercules & Love Affair’s self-titled 2008 debut. The song also features Budgie, the drummer best known as a member of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Listen to it below.
In a statement, Butler said, “‘Poisonous Storytelling‘ started as a song called ‘Sacral’—the music evoked sacred rites, but the word ‘Sacral’ also speaks to the one of the sources of our rootedness and stability.”
ANOHNI added: “We must be careful with new narratives, because everyone is rotted out from poisonous storytelling.”
In Amber is out June 17 (via Skint/BMG). “Poisonous Storytelling” has also been remixed by Justin K Broadrick of Godflesh and the techno duo Giant Swan.
