London-based rising indie-electronic outfit The Utopiates return with ‘Neighbourhood’. Thefirst single to be taken from the, as-of-yet, unnamed second album set for release in late
2025.
Following on from the recent success of their debut album ‘The Sun Also Rises’(TSAR)
(released in May 2023) The Utopiates are out to prove they are one of the most prolific new
bands out there at the minute. Signed to V2 Records they’ve spent the first part of 2024
recording and mixing 11 brand new tracks at The Nave in Leeds (Yard Act, Kaiser Chiefs)
and are ready to hit the ground running in September with their outstanding, tour-de-force of
a song ‘Neighbourhood’.
Singer, Dan, says of the new song and the 2nd album project as a whole:
‘We’ve always been a band that likes to mix it up and look to loads of different influences in the
music we write. Since our inception (in 2021) we’ve been labelled New Wave, Baggy, 90s Revival
and even (New) Nu-Rave! But our mantra has always been ‘let’s make people move’ and that won’t
change just yet. So, we’re sticking with the ‘big-guitar groove’ label Steve Lamacq once gave us but
this time around we’re looking a little more in the direction of New York rather than Manchester,
while borrowing slightly from our post-punk counterparts in some of the production.
We chucked the kitchen sink at TSAR. We went all out for that big sound and proved we can nail the
psychedelic meandering solos and instrumentals. Josh has nothing else to prove, he’s got the
chops! We’re just getting to the point a little bit quicker now, unlike this press statement!’
