The Maccabees reveal new music via an Instagram post and tweet to eagerly awaiting fans. The track is called ‘Marks to Prove It’ and will be from their upcoming album, it can be found on their website (http://www.themaccabees.co.uk) or more easily on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZcFMwga1A4).
This track is part of first glimpses of new material since ‘Given To the Wild’ which was released in 2012, new material has been performed at live gigs recently including at Sheffield, Norwich and Liverpool.
The track takes roots more heavily in indie rock and is more similar to tracks from ‘Wall of Arms’ and ‘Colour It In’ rather than certain songs from their last album which were sometimes slower and more focused on interesting electronic sounds like the beginning of ‘Slowly One’ for example. However, it does still maintain an eerie electronic vibe after 2:19 characteristically like the ‘Given to the Wild’ album. Having heard this particular track live it was lively and energetic before moving into a haunting period towards the end making it interesting and different. Orlando also maintains his charming and memorable voice throughout this new track as usual.
