Buzzing South Yorkshire, UK alternative pop quartet Alvarez Kings have announced the release of their debut album ‘Somewhere Between’ on 14th April via Sire/Warner Bros. Records.
‘Cold Conscience’ is the first track taken from the album ‘Somewhere Between’ and combines
shimmering keys and an arena-ready beat with an impassioned refrain, punctuated by a sizzling guitar lead.
“I got this idea from a friend who cheated on his then-girlfriend,” explains Simon Thompson, lead singer. “The day after, it’s like you’re asking, ‘Is your conscience cold?’ I ran with that metaphor and built a story around it.”
Listen to ‘Cold Conscience’ below:
guys, but we also love dance music. There are orchestral elements and this big synth sound we’re obsessed with. It’s everything that we are.” Producer Carlos de la Garza was a big influence on the band, helping them get to the heart of the songs, whether it’s the percussive shuffle of ‘SLEEPWALKING’ or ethereal soundscape of “Picking Up The Pieces,” the album explores relationships, separation, and love.
