Glasgow’s Walt Disco today shared ‘Macilent’, continuing their run of thundering, highly emotive singles coupled with stunning visuals. Speaking on the new track, frontperson James explains that “‘Macilent’ was written with Jessica Winter in August the day after the 3 trans women were attacked in Hollywood. All we could think about that day was the violence that trans and queer people face every-day. We wanted the song to convey the fear that we feel, the disgust, the exhaustion, but also the fading hope that it doesn’t have to be the way things are ‘We could be together, if you weren’t so violent’. ‘We’ve been around forever’ is almost a war-cry exclaiming that queer people and gender identities have always existed outside the binary.”.
The ‘Macilent’ video was directed by Eric J Liddle and Kasparas Vidunas and the release is also accompanied by the announcement of a UK and European tour for next spring including a show at London’s Scala – check dates below, tickets are on sale Friday Nov 12th at 10am. The 2022 tour comes after riotous shows this year at TRNSMT Festival and Dot To Dot as well as support dates for Duran Duran and an autumn UK headline tour.
