The Streets Share New Song 'Where The F*ck Did April Go?!'

It's the B-side of their new single...

The Streets have shared new song 'Where The F*ck Did April Go?!' - listen to it now.

Mike Skinner recently linked with Tame Impala on new single 'Call My Phone Thinking I'm Doing Nothing Better', before announcing plans for a new mixtape.

'None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive' is incoming, but the creativity hasn't stopped.

Currently on lockdown, Mike Skinner finished new song 'Where The F*ck Did April Go?!' just last week, and it's an off-mixtape cut.

The B-side of the new Streets single, he comments:

"I wrote this last week. It's a weird time isn't it. We were looking forward to the Summer just like everyone else, festivals and gigs all there, new music, new stage set - but this has taken the wind from everyone’s sails. And none of us know quite how to cope with it all. I just wrote a tune the same way other people might talk to a therapist!"

Tune in now.

The Streets will release new mixtape 'None Of Us Are Getting Out Of This Life Alive' on July 10th.

Milo Gore's 'Green Eyes' Is A Fantastic Piece Of Pop-Edged Indie

New album 'How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living?' is out on August 20th...

Milo Gore will release new album 'How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living?' this summer.

The five-piece met while studying at Falmouth University in Cornwall, a quartet brought together by mutual interests and a shared sense of humour.

Each of those elements come to the fore on new single 'Green Eyes', a fizzing piece of pop-edged indie that lights the path for their new album.

'How Do You Cope While Grieving For The Living?' is out on August 20th, and this new single bursts out of the traps with relentless energy.

The video is online now, with Milo Gore commenting:

“The ‘Green Eyes’ music video is about the rise and fall of Milo’s past relationship. The video depicts the story of how he and his girlfriend first met, and consequently, how they drifted apart. The two should have never ended up together - they both had issues with their mental health, issues that were clearly going unchecked. Perhaps that’s what initially brought them together? However, it was sadly the thing that also tore them apart.”

“A video about self-discovery, that eventually ends with a smile, as Robi, the actor who plays Milo, ends up in the same place he had initially met his ex-girlfriend. The song, and the video, are both about learning to be content on your own again. Hindsight is a beautiful thing...”
