Egyptian Blue announce their debut album A Living Commodity

17 July 2023, 14:29 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

The album announcement is accompanied by the new single, "Skin".

On the new single, Egyptian Blue say: ""Skin" was a demo I wrote on my balcony on a hot summer’s day. I became completely infatuated by the shakers, insisting that this is a shaker song and the rest is just background noise. It’s a simple song and kind of structurally unorthodox. But again as many EB songs have the tendency to complicate simple ideas, "Skin" certainly wasn’t an exception. I see wide open spaces snapping into a tight and clean portrait and back and forth between them. It toys with the idea of being ok then not ok and pining to wear another’s "Skin" in the climate of discontent in yourself and your situations."

A Living Commodity is set to follow 2019's Collateral Damage, and 2020's Body of Itch.

Andy Buss and Leith Ambrose formed Egyptian Blue in their late teens first bonding over early Foals and The Maccabees and have played music together ever since, and now they're going to be releasing their debut album on YALA! records which is co-run by Felix White of The Maccabees.

Tracklist:

1. Matador
2. Nylon Wire
3. Belgrade Shade
4. Skin
5. In My Condition
6. A Living Commodity
7. Apparent Cause
8. Suit Of Lights
9. To Be Felt
10. Contain It
11. Geisha

"Skin" is out now. Egyptian Blue's debut album, A Living Commodity, will be released on 27 October via Yala! Records.
