Blood Red Shoes announce new album ‘Get Tragic’

BLOOD RED SHOES have announced a new album!

The new album, titled Get Tragic, is the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s self-titled record and is scheduled to be released in January next year.

The upcoming record addresses the traumatic, tragic and difficult experiences the Brighton duo have experienced in the past three years and speaking about the record, drummer/vocalist Steven Ansel says, “we got the to the end of the fourth record and were like, ‘Fuck you, I never want to see you again’. Went out and took drugs and went clubbing for about half a year. I don’t remember a lot about it. Classic break-up move, right? That’s the whole running theme of this record. The reason we called it Get Tragic is because we realised that everything we’ve been doing over the last three years is kinda tragic! Just like, ‘Ooh, I hate you, I’m going to America to find myself’, and like ‘Ooh, I’m gonna party for the rest of the year!’ Everything about it is such a cliché – we were like, ‘We’ve turned into a fuckin tragedy!’”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming record; titled Mexican Dress. Speaking about the track, vocalist/guitarist Laura Mary-Carter says, “this song is about the lengths people will go to for attention. Whether it’s online or in real life – Small hits of validation and the feeling of having all eyes on you have become our generation’s biggest drug problem.”
