!!! have unveiled a third single from their upcoming ninth album Let It Be Blue titled "Panama Canal".

"Panama Canal" follows previous singles "Here's What I Need To Know" and "Storm Around The World", and is teamed with a video directed by the band's own Chris Egan.

!!! say of the new release, "We wanted "Panama Canal" to be one of those songs that would send you right back to the dance floor if you heard it while taking a break from dancing and getting a drink at the bar. We're a dance band and feel like this song fits into that mission but in a way that’s new and slightly different for us. In many ways this encapsulated what we wanted to do with the whole Let It Be Blue album’s production. We wanted modern, minimal songs that mainly featured beats, sub bass and some vocal hooks. The lyrics were inspired by Prince songs like "Housequake" or "DMSR" where he’s heard giving the audience instructions as well as the great rap metaphor writers like Andre 3000 and Lil Wayne. It’s one we definitely hope to hear out of car windows in New York City this summer."

Let It Be Blue will follow 2019's Wallop album, and features production from Patrick Ford.

"Panama Canal" is out now. !!!'s Let It Be Blue album will land via Warp Records on 6 May, and is available to pre-order now.
