Talk Show have made a surprise return today with the impressive 'Underworld'. Self-described as a "new statement of intent", it's a more jaggedy, juicier release from the band that foretells an as-yet-detailess new EP.

The track is the first piece released by Talk Show since 2020's These People EP. It benefits from Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and Al Doyle on production.

Frontman Harrison Swann said of the single:

"This was the first of the “new batch” we started with. It’s our own 'Born Slippy'. Finding a groove and locking into it collectively really shaped the way we approached the other tracks. Rhythm first. Vocals and guitars second. Stemming from the thumping techno drum beat and lots of noisy rhythms, this track’s a high energy intro to the new EP and a statement of intent."

See Talk Show live on tour and at festivals this year.
