Blanketman are today sharing a new single, “The Signalman”. It is the first new music from the band since the release of their acclaimed debut EP National Trust back in the Spring, and is taken from a new double A side 7″ titled “The Signalman / Yard Sale”, which is set for release on 11th Feb 2022
The band’s restless art-punk and cerebral indie-pop have seen their fanbase swell over the last year, culminating in a batch of sold-out live dates and festival appearances. Vocalist Adam Hopper masterminds a trove of indelible melodies, sitting them on top of the band’s boundless, energetic thrust. New single “The Signalman” is an introspective look into the day to day life of guitarist Daniel Hand, inspired by the 1976 BBC television adaptation of Charles Dickens’ The Signal-Man. It is a merging of stories real and fictional, but both equally frightening.
