Cheatahs have detailed new single "Freak Waves", which will arrive as they hit London in January.
In our review of recent LP Mythologies, which the track is taken from, we said that: "'Freak Waves' is as forceful as anything from Raise by Swervedriver... the all out noise of the past is largely absent, which means when they do freak out it’s more effective."
Mythologies is out now via Wichita; the new single is out 20 January.
Cheatahs will be playing London's XOYO on 19 January ahead of a brief European jaunt.
