Manchester based Art-Rock / Post Hardcore outfit Pleiades have today shared their brand new single ‘Universal’ and another piece of their highly anticipated debut album ‘Affinity With’. With intricate verses and impactful instrumentation leading up to a post-rock/metal crescendo conclusion ‘Universal’ shows a slightly different edge to Pleiades and the upcoming album.
“Universal was our chance on the album to take a breath and take the tempo down and write something that could be performed at a more conversational pace. Mewithoutyou being one of my big influences I look up to Aaron Weiss a lot and his exploration of his faith in such a unique way. The line ‘Will I get my universe?’ is asking questions about human ambition and knowing when to be satisfied and find gratitude in your accomplishments, to take a moment and be present.” - Vocalist, Andrew Calderbank.
