NYC Quintet Slow Fiction have today shared their brand new single 'When',  which is released on Speedy Wunderground as part of the Speedy Singles series. Driven by its marching percussion and angsty vocals, the track serves as another exciting introduction to their sound as its infectious melodies take hold. Julia Vassallo comments: "I think everyone has had a moment where their expectation of the world, a relationship, the audience they are performing for falls short, and it sends you into a wild spiral downwards. Losing faith feels so desperate, like falling into a pit of snakes. And the snakes all have faces that seem familiar, and they're talking, but the words are all garbled. I guess this was trying to get to the bottom of that pit of disillusionment, or maybe get out of it altogether." Take a listen for yourselves below. 

'When' will be available on 7 inch on 25th April here, including a dub remix B side by Dan Carey, 'Who Is the Dub'.

Slow Fiction are Julia Vassallo (vocals), Paul Knepple (guitar), Joe Skimmons (guitar), Ryan Duffin (bass), and Akiva Henig (drums).
