Brighton band Fear of Men are back with new track "Into Strangeness", their first release since 2016.

"Into Strangeness" is Fear of Men's first new outing since their 2016 album Fall Forever, and arrives with a video that they directed with Mikael Johansson.

Vocalist Jessica Weiss writes in a statement, "It’s been a strange and extremely charged four years since we last released music. It’s been overwhelming and painful, hopefully leading to tangible positive change. In contrast, this time has personally brought a lot of healing, shutting the door finally on elements that have been toxic and draining in my life for too long. This song is an assertion of a voice, a cry of independence. As the lyrics state, I 'spent a few years in tears, but now I’m steel'. It’s a song about the role of words in constructing the self. We create ourselves like books, and I’m ready to tell a different story."

The band are also donating proceeds made from the first week of sales on Bandcamp to The Audre Lorde Project.

Fear of Men's new single "Into Strangeness" is out now.
