The Zutons are today sharing a new single from their forthcoming album The Big Decider, out 26th April. The album's title track is out now. The band are also sharing news of a first live return to North America since 2006.
The Zutons have so far shared two previous songs from their highly-anticipated comeback album - 'Creeping On The Dancefloor' and 'Pauline' - each of which carried with them breezy sun-kissed melodies and earworm riffs. New single 'The Big Decider' rides a feel-good stomp through a song about grabbing opportunity with both hands.
Lead singer and guitarist Dave McCabe says: "Ian Broudie told me the demo of Big Decider brought a tear to his eye and that’s why he said yes to working with us again, he’d been retired from producing for over a decade so we're proud to say we brought him out of retirement. It was one of the first songs we wrote for the album so getting that reaction from Ian made me feel like we were doing something right. The song is about taking chances in life when they come along, but also about being careful and learning from your mistakes in the past. For me it’s like a fair ride to Vegas, and hopefully a win at the end.”
Having sold out their run of intimate live shows through Jan, Feb and March, tickets for the band's full UK tour are on general sale now here. A second date at Pryzm in Kingston has been added on Sat 27th April.
