Skinny Lister prepare to tell their '˜Story' at Leeds venue
The band’s much awaited fourth studio album, ‘The Story Is….’, is set to drop from Xtra Mile Recordings on March 1, 2019, but before then comes lead single “38 Minutes”, which sets the tempo and gives fans a first taste of what to expect from their latest long player. Listen HEREIt is a tense new track inspired by a ballistic missile alert triggered in Hawaii at the beginning of 2018. For a terrifying 38 minutes officials led the populous of the volcanic island to believe that the end was nigh. As sirens wailed and panic prevailed, the locals were starkly informed: “This Is Not A Drill”…
But it was of course, just that. While it might not go down as a red letter day for the Hawaiian authorities, Skinny Lister fans can rejoice as this episode arrives transformed some months later into an ebullient new single and the first to emerge of many stories that make up their imaginative new album.
