Amsterdam indie collective Personal Trainer have released 'Tyres Skid', the latest preview of Human Assholes, due 4 September through Bella Union.
Willem Smit treats the song's breakup theme with intentionally oversized emotion, moving from a crash into melancholy before eventually reaching one of the band's largest sing-along choruses.
The track follows 'Punch Drunk Love', 'Moping' and 'Hole' and reflects a change in how the upcoming album was created.
Rather than assembling songs primarily behind a computer, Personal Trainer increasingly wrote together in a room with acoustic guitar as a starting point. 'Tyres Skid' translates that more physical process into something bruised, funny and genuinely cathartic.
