Split Chain have issued a pair of new singles from the upcoming reimagined deluxe edition of their debut album “motionblur“. The British nü-gazers announced that reworked take on the on the aforementioned record back in May, and at the time, were quiet on the array of guest performers involved.
That veil of secrecy has since been lifted, with the list of participants now public. While the band previously debuted a new track titled “Scatterbrain” from that effort, today, July 01st, they’ve rolled out new versions of “Headway” and “SPIT“, which feature assistance from by their upcoming tourmates in Roman Candle and False Reality, respectively.
Split Chain said of these two collabs:
“Asking both Piper and Rachel to feature on these songs was an absolute no brainer for us. We’re all such big fans of what they do in their own bands and we were so excited to see how they would interpret these songs. Not only that, but being able to have features from bands in both the US and UK scenes is so sick.
They both have such distinctive, dynamic and incredible voices and hearing how their own natural flair sits so well in these songs is legitimately insane.
They’ve genuinely done the songs an incredible amount of justice, and their unique takes on each have really elevated the songs to a point where they now sit comfortably as their definitive versions. We couldn’t be happier with how the songs have turned out, and we’re so excited to be able to tour with them in September.”
