Love Fame Tragedy have today unveiled the penultimate track from their forthcoming sophomore EP Five Songs To Briefly Fill The Void, out 20th March via Good Soldier Songs/AWAL.

Please Don’t Murder Me (part 2)‘ is a stripped-back examination of the often anxiety-filled intensity of love. Murph’s crystalline vocals come to the fore, perfectly harmonised with Crystal Fighters’ Eleanor Fletcher over finger-picked guitar which builds into ominously crackling feedback as the short track reaches its climax. – listen HERE

The Wombats frontman Murph is bringing Love Fame Tragedy back home for an extensive UK tour in the spring. February and March will see him play dates in Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Paris and London’s Heaven, before he plays Neighbourhood Weekender Festival on May 23rd.
