Manic Street Preachers have released a video for their new single Brushstrokes of Reunion, taken from their upcoming fifteenth album Critical Thinking.
“Nods to imperial-era Waterboys, particularly the love and desperation of Rags – R.E.M. Life’s Rich Pageant meets classic Manics crunch + velocity,” the band comments. “Lyrically, about the hypnotic quality of a painting that’s inherited from someone who has passed.”
