Spector share new single ‘Funny Way Of Showing It’, co-written with The Magic Gang’s Jack Kaye

Spector have shared new single ‘Funny Way Of Showing It’, listen here.

‘Funny Way Of Showing It’ comes in the wake of the band returning with the mammoth ‘Catch You On The Way Back In’ last month, alongside announcing Now Or Whenever, their first official studio album in six years.

Now Or Whenever is the long awaited third full length release from the cult band. The album follows the critically acclaimed Enjoy It While It Lasts (2012), Moth Boys (2015) and EP compilation Non-Fiction (2020), records which built a culture around the group and accrued them a fiercely loyal fan base, making Spector one of Britain’s most-loved alternative outfits.

Where CYOWTBI saw Spector at their most visceral and urgent, ‘Funny Way Of Showing It’ exudes a slightly more psychedelic slacker feel, rearranging the band’s emotionally resonant, indie rock hallmarks into a hazy mid-summer earworm. Co-written with The Magic Gang’s Jack Kaye, ‘Funny Way Of Showing It’ captures the laidback interplay of Jed Cullen’s guitar playing and Fred Macpherson’s freshly tempered vocals, a theme that runs across the album, with rhythmic instrumentation and blissed out harmonies throughout. “You’ve been looking for a mint condition first edition / You’ve been looking for the real deal” sings Fred. “You’ve been looking for a bit of fervour, look no further / Maybe you just want to feel”. 

Now Or Whenever is out October 1st on the band’s own label Moth Noise, the full tracklist can be found below, alongside the dates for the band’s UK headline tour, for which tickets are on sale now.
