Manchester-based trio The Blinders are scheduled to release their new album Fantasies Of A Stay At Home Psychopath on July 17th via the Modern Sky UK label. Having already shared a number of singles from the upcoming LP including the song ‘Mule Track’ about a month ago, the band now unveil their latest track titled ‘Black Glass’. Running a little over six minutes in length, the haunting tune is laced with punchy and dystopian production as the lyrical content deals with a deranged person who is locked in his home whilst trying to ration his actions and mind state, convincing himself of its normality. The Blinders have also shared a visualiser to coincide with the single, which you can watch below.
Touching on the single, The Blinders mentioned:
“This song is about a disturbed introvert’s conversation between him and himself, whose need for isolation has reached its peak. No longer does he simply keep the blinds drawn to appease his twisted and paranoid appetite, for slowly he begins to talk through his methods in order to reassure himself that his actions are completely sane
As the monologue unravels, his words become more and more deranged and unhinged until finally his nerve implodes. He is left alone with his cyclone of self-righteous, existential rambling thoughts around his mind.”
