Antony Szmierek joins forces with Los Bitchos' Serra Petale on new track, "Seminal"
Antony Szmierek has released "Seminal" featuring Serra Petale, the latest single from his upcoming second album, Decoding Birdsong.
"Seminal" follows previous singles "Chalk" and "The Heron". The track is an electronic track built on garage-inspired rhythms, offering a different side of an album that's about choosing to believe something, and "making your own luck in the face of loneliness and doubt", in Szmierek's words.
Speaking about the new single, Szmierek says: “seminal (adjective):
1. attaching meaning to seemingly meaningless everyday occurrences and objects. microwave clocks, the sky, birds
2. important, life changing, monumental
are you reading the signs from the universe correctly or are you only seeing what you want to see? an anthemic chorus screams loneliness and lack of control, but the verses remain hopeful. a push and pull that sees the whole thing collapse in on itself at the end over fizzing UKG and soaring guitar".
Decoding Birdsong is released on 21 August via Mushroom Music / Virgin Music Group
