As iconic Welsh outfit Manic Street Preachers prepare the release of their forthcoming fifteenth album Critical Thinking on 31st January 2025, the band have recently unveiled the record's third single, People Ruin Paintings. Described as “musically the three of us playing telepathically, referencing thirty plus years of playing together instinctively”, with Classic Rock hailing it to be “Stadium Jazz”, the new single continues to see the band deliver euphoric swelling choruses and cult classic guitar melodies as they bring their 90's influenced sounds to the modern day. Take a listen for yourselves below.

The record is available on LP, CD, hardbook CD and cassette with two brand new songs available on a limited 7”, a remix of ‘Decline & Fall’ by Steven Wilson and demo versions of all the new album tracks on an extended CD. See the bands official store to see all the versions available. https://ManicStreetPreachers.lnk.to/store
