Jehnny Beth releases blistering new song ‘Obsession’ on Friday, taken from her forthcoming Fiction album You Heartbreaker, You. It’s one addictive slice of pent-up angst and will no doubt sound incredible live when she tours Europe later this year.
Written by Jehnny Beth & her longtime co-creator Johnny Hostile, ‘Obsession’ was recorded and produced by Johnny Hostile at their 20L07 studio in France.
“’Obsession’ is the first song Johnny and I wrote together for this album,” Jehnny Beth says. “The lyrics ‘you heartbreaker, you’ gave the title to the album but, more than that, the song gave the album its tone. It is probably one of the most detailed tracks on the record. The song obviously deals with the subject of primal obsession. It has this spiralling repetitive tension to the point of explosion, going from a whispered confession to a gnarly scream in the blink of an eye, which was fun to make – imagine Tricky and Jonathan Davis making a song with Adam Jones from Tool! In my head anyway.”
Jehnny Beth will spend most of October on tour including two London shows: October 30th at Electrowerkz and October 31st at the Camden Assembly.
Tickets go on sale Friday June 13th, and will be available to purchase HERE.
