The Slow Readers Club have shared \u2018Killing Me<\/a>\u2019, the final single to be taken from their upcoming album, ‘The Joy Of The Return’, ahead of its release on March 20th<\/sup> via Modern Sky UK.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Blending powerful guitar lines with subdued verses which showcase singer Aaron Starkie\u2019s darkly insightful lyricism, the track is an infectious and brooding anthem for a world consumed by toxic societies.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c\u2018Killing Me\u2019 is a song about inequality,\u201d explains Aaron. \u201cIt\u2019s about being controlled by\u00a0a ruling class, and how we\u2019ve designed a system\u00a0of living for ourselves that\u2019s a kind of prison, emotionally and spiritually. It\u2019s about a world where we\u00a0increasingly isolate ourselves through an addiction to our phones and social media. \u2018Son\u00a0I\u2019m a slave to technology, talk through the glass\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Killing Me\u2019 follows the release of \u2018Jericho<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018All I Hear<\/a>\u2019, released to acclaim from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Chris Hawkins at BBC 6Music, who premiered the track. Recorded at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool and produced by long-standing collaborator Phil Bulleyment, ‘The Joy Of The Return’ marks a significant change in the band\u2019s process, with their extensive touring allowing them time to write and develop tracks and arrangements through soundchecks and back-of-van jams.<\/p>\n
