Big Deal share new single "Avalanche"

As you'd expect from a song with this title, "Avalanche" is exhilaratingly tumultuous. Guitar riffs resound with a thunderous weight, building to blindingly clear solos, all the whilst vocals spiral and soar with an energy it's impossible not to get caught up in.

"I remembered hearing a riff at a friend’s party years ago and didn't know what song it was, but something about it stuck with me," Kacey Underwood explained to Noisey of the track's genesis. "Every now and then I'd try to capture it from memory, and that's how it started. Lyrically, it's mostly about wizards."

"We'd been working on the song for ages and knew it wasn't quite right so we decided we needed to get out of London for a few days and we lay on the ground of this little house in the middle of nowhere for days on end just playing what we had so far of the song until we started to hear how the song was meant to be," Alice Costelloe elaborates. "When we came back to London the songs started flooding in, like we'd won some psychic battle in the countryside."

"Avalanche" is the first single to be shared from Big Deal's new record Say Yes. Details of the group's upcoming UK dates can be found beneath.

Say Yes is released via FatCat Records on 10 June.
