Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougal‘s The Waeve have shared a new single, ‘Broken Boys’ – you can listen to it below.The song serves as the third preview of the Blur guitarist and Pipettes singer’s second studio album ‘City Lights’, which is out on September 20 via Transgressive (pre-order/pre-save here).Produced by James Ford, the Cabaret Voltaire-inspired track opens with distorted guitar, and finds the duo leaning into a gritty, garage rock sound.“Fuck your party/ You make me wanna throw my soul away/ Left in the dark so I never/ No, never/ Find the way out,” Coxon sings. “You’re dressing up just to take them down/ Oh/ You’re dressing up just to take them down.”‘Broken Boys’ is accompanied by a suitably dark and disorientating official visualiser, created by Tom Pallant.
The clip intersperses blurry performance footage with shots of isolated and eerie locations. Watch it here:The band’s new single follows on from the ‘City Lights’ title track and the song ‘You Saw’.
Additionally, The Waeve have shared official live versions of each cut as part of their ‘City Lights Sessions’ video series on YouTube.
Check out the ‘Broken Boys’ performance above.Speaking in a previous statement, The Waeve explained: “‘You Saw’ is a song about acknowledging how seemingly tiny decisions can have a seismic impact on the course of one’s life, how sometimes it feels like the way things turn out are predestined.“It’s about reconciling a past version with the new version of one’s self and being grateful for how things work out.
