Bristol’s nu-gaze shapeshifters, Split Chain, have today released their ‘motionblur’ [DELUXE] album, a digital deluxe edition of their acclaimed debut ‘motionblur’, on Epitaph Records. Each track has been reimagined by the band and features rising bands in today’s alternative scene.

“motionblur [DELUXE] was not only an idea conceived so we could celebrate our debut album a year on from its release, but also as a way for us to give back to the community and scene that has welcomed us with such open arms,” explain the band. “We’ve made so many friends across the world over the course of our short existence and to be able to celebrate in this way with all of them is such a genuine privilege for us. Everyone has done such a sick job with their interpretations of each song, and we’re so so proud of how it’s all  come together. We’re eternally grateful to every single band that has contributed to this album in any way whatsoever and we cannot wait for everybody else to hear it.”

The album’s focus track is, ‘I’m Not Dying To Be Here’ [DLX’], featuring Slow Degrade.

“Slow Degrade are such an insanely sick band,” enthuse the band. “and we knew immediately that we wanted them for this rehash of I’m Not Dying to Be Here. We’ve been online friends from the very beginning, and it’s so cool to finally make something real with them. As with everybody else on the record, we’re such huge fans of everything that Shane and Slow Degrade do, so we knew straight away that we wanted them to be a part of this deluxe. Shane’s voice compliments the song in all the right ways and he’s done such a good job of levelling the song up even more. We’re genuinely stoked with how well it’s come out and we can’t wait for everyone else to hear it.”
