Love Fame Tragedy have today unveiled the penultimate track from their forthcoming sophomore EP Five Songs To Briefly Fill The Void, out 20th March via Good Soldier Songs/AWAL.
Please Don’t Murder Me (part 2)‘ is a stripped-back examination of the often anxiety-filled intensity of love. Murph’s crystalline vocals come to the fore, perfectly harmonised with Crystal Fighters’ Eleanor Fletcher over finger-picked guitar which builds into ominously crackling feedback as the short track reaches its climax. – listen HERE

Named after a seminal Pablo Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern, Love Fame Tragedy’s first EP I Don’t Want To Play The Victim, But I’m Really Good At It, came out in September. Featuring Pixies’ Joey Santiago, alt-J’s Gus Unger-Hamilton, Matt Chamberlain of Soundgarden, Lauren Aquilina & Maddi-Jean Waterhouse, it garnered widespread support from the likes of Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, NME, The Times and Metro.
