Manic Street Preachers have released a lyric video for their new single Liverpool Revisited.
It’s the latest track taken from their upcoming album Resistance Is Futile and follows International Blue and Distant Colours. The Manics have also shared acoustic versions of International Blue, Distant Colours and Dylan & Caitlin.
The album cover features a striking image of a samurai, with bassist Nicky Wire explaining: “The title Resistance Is Futile and the cover image just fit together perfectly.
“The sleeve is a vintage photograph of one of the last samurai warriors – someone who knows his time is over thanks to the coming of the gun. There’s such an intense melancholia in his eyes that the picture seems to visualise the phrase itself.
“There’s another reason the title is so appropriate too and that’s because the whole thing is so obsessively melodic. Resistance to the actual record itself is futile.”
The follow-up to 2014’s Futurology will be released on April 13 and is now available for pre-order.
