Silverbacks have released a new single, ‘Giving Away an Inch Of’, lifted from their forthcoming LP Easy Being a Winner. It follows earlier cuts ‘Selling Shovels’ and ‘Something I Know’. Check it out below.
“This one is a love song and mostly about the balance of relationships,” vocalist Kilian O’Kelly explained in a statement. “The main idea was that one of the lovers was going to be pleading for a little bit more compromise from their other half. I wanted to have lots of ties to nature too and I think Nick Cave’s version of ‘nature boy’ played a part there. Emma and I now have a garden in Drogheda, and with it has come a newfound interest in plants! Red hot pokers are probably one of our favourites. I always like it when human emotions are conveyed by the natural world. The delivery of red hot pokers coming out of the chorus is inspired by Elvis’s ‘Poke-Salad-Annie’ performance in Vegas.”
Easy Being a Winner is scheduled for release on October 18 via Central Tones/Cargo. Read our Artist Spotlight interview with Silverbacks.
