William The Conqueror share new single 'The Bruises'

With their eagerly-awaited new album landing next month, William The Conqueror have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length.

The new single 'The Bruises' comes accompanied by a brilliant new video, and follows on from the previously shared lead track 'The Puppet and the Puppeteer' in previewing their new LP 'Excuse Me While I Vanish', which is out on the 28th July via Chrysalis Records.

Speaking about the new offering, frontman Ruarri said, "My favourite kind of songwriting is when you have no control over what's happening. The song just arrives, finding its way through your fingers onto the fret board, as the pen wanders the page and somehow says everything you didn't realise you needed to say. The Bruises was like that. It wasn't and then all of a sudden, it was."

While bassist Naomi added, “'The Bruises' will stay with you all day. And with a verse that catchy, you don’t really need a chorus. Which is lucky.”
