Unveiling their latest single with its accompanying video directed by Ethan Porter, south coast of England natives The Manatees have shared their new single Buttercup. The final instalment before the trio release their second EP ‘Different State Of Mind’, due out 23rd February 2024, the track sees darkened pop nuances come to life across a backdrop of explosive percussion and intricate guitar layering. Speaking on ‘Buttercup’, lead singer Jay Harris says “It’s really about how exhausting love can be. Being extremely vulnerable to someone, yet utterly addicted at the same time. I love the intricacies you pick-up within relationships, and the fact no one on the outside could ever know what it’s truly like. The longer you’re with someone, the greater those intricacies become, whilst also putting so much more on the line as you delve deeper into life together. You have to jump bigger hurdles, handle more substantial squabbles and ultimately sacrifice something along the way.” Take a listen/watch of the video for yourselves below.
