Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album The Heart Wants What It Wants earlier this year, LATE TRANSMISSIONS featuring EVE QUARTERMAIN present their new track A Little Drop Of Poison. A shift in direction from the cinematic drama of previous tracks, Poison delivers a lighter yet still highly seductive musical touch with the lauded vocal talents of Eve Quartermain conveying the darkly whimsical lyrics of a lover plotting a deadly scheme to extricate herself from the man she has grown tired of. A conscious uncoupling this is not.
The track has long been recognised by those who heard the record upfront as one of the standout moments from an album full of them, in particular being highlighted as the track with huge crossover appeal. With a release date perfectly timed for the spooky season, the song is matched with a low key visualiser video, full of Hallowe’en-esque scenes of deliciously dark goings-on.
A Little Drop Of Poison is the fourth track to be taken from their debut album released on limited edition hand-numbered red vinyl, jewel case CD and all streaming services in May, where it picked up critical acclaim from all areas of media including a striking two page interview feature in The Guardian.

The lush cinematic arrangements that define the sound of Late Transmissions paint a landscape of longing and loss, but it is the plaintive rawness and sombre depths in Eve’s delivery that carries the weight of this record. This is an album for those who understand that no matter how bleak life may become there is consolation, redemption even, to be had from singing your truth, loudly and proudly.
Eve sings to those trapped in this world’s shadowy dead ends, to the many for whom love is more often a source of misery than happiness. To all of us that hurt. Her voice makes plain that she herself has lived out such tales too often. Indeed The Heart Wants What It Wants is that rare thing – a collection of songs that drip with sorrow and anger – each track a scar born of damage and broken hopes, each defeat providing fuel for the fire that’s burning within. It’s an intimate glimpse into a soul who has taken all that life has thrown at her to emerge bruised but unbeaten. A woman who rises despite it all.
