Following on from the release of their highly-praised sophomore LP 'Today We're The Greatest' in 2021, Middle Kids have now returned to share a brand new single.

The new track 'Bootleg Firecracker' marks their first piece of new material in two years, and comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, directed by Toby Morris.

Speaking about the new offering, singer Hannah Joy describes it as "a song about the power, magic, and risk of intimacy... It started out as an up-tempo chorus about dancing, but Tim (Fitz - co-producer and bassist) slowed it down, and we came up with this idea of the bootleg firecracker. Fireworks can be dangerous and risky, but there's something about their explosion of light and heat that brings people together in celebration. I think love is like that."
