British nü-gaze outfit Split Chain have announced a deluxe edition of their latest album, ‘motionblur’, due out September 11th through Epitaph Records. Leading the rollout for the expanded release is the newly unveiled track “scatterbrain.”
The upcoming deluxe version of the record will feature reworked versions of every song from the original album alongside bonus material and a number of guest appearances that have yet to be fully revealed.
Speaking on revisiting the album, the band shared:
“We are so, so proud of what we created with ‘motionblur,’ and we wanted to come up with a way to celebrate it all over again, in a way that both shows love to the scene that has helped us get where we are now, as well as including many of the friends that we’ve made along the way.”
“We get that everyone interprets music in their own way, and so we invited a bunch of mates to feature across the album, so that we could hear their individual interpretations of the songs. It came out so much better than we could have even hoped, and we truly believe the work and energy that every person has done on every song is incredible. The cast of names on this version on this album is sick, and we know people are gonna love it just as much as we do. We’re so incredibly grateful to every single artist that has helped the deluxe become a reality and we genuinely can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks.”
The band also elaborated on the meaning behind “scatterbrain,” explaining:
“Like all of our other music, ‘scatterbrain’ comes from personal experiences growing up that we’re sure everyone can relate with to some degree. It’s a song about the slow degradation of friendships, relationships and family ties. How all of a sudden, when things can seem to be at their best, the other person in the relationship, friendship or the family member seems to stop pulling their weight. They start to get caught up in their own thing, get lost in their head, and either consciously or subconsciously pull away without providing any reason whatsoever, leaving the other person with nothing but feelings of abandonment, unrequited love and questions.”
In support of the release, Split Chain have also booked a September UK headlining run with False Reality and Roman Candle.
