Placebo have released their first new single in five years, ‘Beautiful James’. Give it a listen below.
“If the song serves to irritate the squares and the uptight, so gleefully be it,” frontman Brian Molko said in a statement. “But it remains imperative for me that each listener discovers their own personal story within it – I really don’t want to tell you how to feel.”
Placebo’s last album, Loud Like Love, arrived in 2013.
