Manic Street Preachers present first new music in three years, "Decline & Fall"
Manic Street Preachers have released "Decline & Fall" as the first track to be made available from their forthcoming fifteenth studio album.
"Decline & Fall" marks their first new music since their 2021 album, The Ultra Vivid Lament. Recorded at the band’s Door To The River studio in Newport and Rockfield Studios, Monmouth, it was produced by regular collaborators Dave Eringa and Loz Williams and mixed by Caesar Edmunds (Beach House/Suede/Wet Leg).
On the new song, the band say: “Musically with ‘Decline & Fall’ we tried to create forward motion - a song which harnesses the past to propel it into the future - the lyric is one of realisation and understanding - of celebrating the tiny miracles that still exist whilst accepting and embracing managed decline”.
"Decline & Fall" is out now.
