With their new album The Lash set to arrive on July 25, The Dirty Nil has released a taste of the record with their latest single, “Spider Dream.”
“I woke up one morning, completely refreshed by a nightmare,” vocalist/guitarist Luke Bentham explains. “It was a strange feeling but enough to animate a song. I had also just watched the Beatles documentary that the Lord of the Rings fella made, so I was inspired to use more jangly chords than I usually do. It was a strange one to bring to the band but the arrangement came together instantly and it never changed from the first time we played it.”
Listen to “Spider Dream” below.
Beginning in June, The Dirty Nil, Carpool, and Dear Seattle will be on tour with Heart Attack Man for their headlining run. Check out the dates below and grab tickets here.
