FKA twigs shares new song “Drums Of Death”: listen

We’ve been hearing about FKA twigs’ new techno-inspired album for a long time, and its release is now looming. The album is called EUSEXUAand twigs recorded it with avant-dance producer Koreless. After sharing the title track And “Perfect stranger,” Twigs has now cut us short with a new song, “Drums Of Death.” I’m happy to report that the song lives up to its title.

“Drums Of Death” honestly feels more like a Koreless track than a twigs track. It is dominated by the choppy, ever-changing beat. Koreless put the instrumental together while flying to Berlin to play Berghain, and he mixed it on the club’s system while he was soundchecking. Twigs engaged trans poet Tintin as co-writer for the lyrics. Her vocals rocket elusively through the song, mostly staying out of the way of that instrumental. Watch the cool dance video Twigs made on the office set from her “EUSEXUA” clip below.

EUSEXUA is out 1/17 on Young.
