British rock duo Royal Blood have released ‘Typhoons,’ the title track from their upcoming album set for release on April 30th. After two UK #1 albums, 2 million album sales, and an array of international acclaim Royal Blood returned last year with their first instalment from the upcoming album ‘Trouble’s Coming‘. The track received 20 million streams, a premiere as Annie Mac’s Hottest Record, and a run on Radio 1’s A-list. It landed on the cover of Spotify’s flagship global rock playlist ROCK THIS and earned alternative radio support and media attention across the globe.
‘Typhoons’ is a slick fuzz-filled anthem swarmed in the swaggered rock bravado Royal Blood do so well. Dripping in strut-worthy panache, the track kicks off with Mike Kerr’s slinky riffage which meanders through Ben Thatcher’s agile drumming. Kerr sings about being trapped and lost within his mind, “My thoughts becoming parasites. That live to keep me terrified”. His luring vocals slip into sweet falsetto for the mammoth chorus as the track spirals into the controlled chaos Royal Blood are know for.
The duo gloss their raging rock in disco hue’s while the groove infested rhythm brazenly shimmers through the tracks heavy rhythmic stomps and biting hi-hats. Royal Blood has taken the volcanic energy of their self-titled debut, refined it down with a sprinkle of dance-rock to lighten the mix, to create a thrilling swagger-soaked banger. The duo have created an intense, luring number ready for repeat plays. Looking forward to the new album.
