MIND METRO
NEW EP OUT FEBRUARY 21ST
PRE ORDER HERE The Cheap Thrills have released the video for their new single ‘Last Orders’, taken from their new EP Mind Metro out February 21st. The new single is a late-night indie party anthem which celebrates those that don’t get quite so lucky and head home alone. With its propulsive bouncy rhythm and huge singalong chorus it spills out onto the street to meet airy synths and intricate guitar licks reminiscent of Two Door Cinema Club and Foals. The video captures a lonely night for one sole drinker in a dilapidated pub, but regardless he is still having a great time soundtracked by a set from The Cheap Thrills. Watch it here. Regarding the single frontman Lewis Pike says, “It’s a song about the worst time of the best nights, the thrill of the chase. ‘Last Orders’ explores the comedy and tragedy of going home alone. You don’t find love on a Friday night.” The forthcoming Mind Metro EP opens with the widely praised high energy single ‘Reborn’, which drew critical praise from the likes of the Evening Standard claiming it “shows the band is ready to reach new heights”, while John Kennedy called it “an instant anthem” on his Radio X show and it achieved further radio support from Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music. Elsewhere The Cheap Thrills prove their dexterity with the heartfelt acoustic-led ‘Escape’, which has also received great support on 6Music and Radio X, while ‘Calypso Blue’ will finish the EP with a touching song about losing someone close to you. Surrounding the release The Cheap Thrills are also continuing to trailblaze an impressive live path. After a rowdy support set with Circa Waves last week, they will be playing their own headline shows in February and March including their largest headline show yet to 2000 fans at Liverpool’s Content on March 2nd. The band have also been announced to perform at Vest Rock festival In the Netherlands this summer.
