From Loudersound.
Manic Street Preachers have shared the second single, The Secret He Had Missed, from their forthcoming album The Ultra Vivid Lament. The new album is set for release on September 3 via Columbia/Sony.
The Secret He Had Missed is a summery pop number that features shimmering vocals, courtesy of Julia Cumming (Sunflower Bean), and cascading ABBA-style piano lines.
Accompanied by a slightly disjointed music video directed by the band’s long-time visual collaborator Kieran Evans, the video transitions from scenic shots of seascapes in Tenby to a room with a giant sparkling disco ball located in Newport’s Dolman Theatre.
On top of their previously-announced festival shows, Manic Street Preachers will also be performing the new album on a 14 date cross-country tour. Special guests on all headline shows will be The Anchoress (not including the Wembley date). Tickets are now on sale.
