Boston Manor today announce that their fourth studio album Datura will be released on October 14 via SharpTone Records.
The burgeoning British rock act have also released a new single Passenger which introduces the record’s nighttime aesthetic with the kind of intense and unrestrained burst of an anthemic chorus for which the band have become known in recent years. It’s a song that’s both hopeful and energetic but also on the verge of emotional collapse.
Says guitarist Mike Cunniff of the song’s process: “It’s really one of our favorite songs on the record. We’ve been jamming it in rehearsals a little bit and it just works so well live. It was a very stripped back approach to writing as well. We didn’t want to put too much stuff in it, which kind of leaves us feeling a little bit vulnerable and naked onstage, when there’s not too many things going on. It was the last song we wrote and recorded for the record, the final piece of the puzzle.”
