Bitter Ruin to release new single, tour with Amanda Palmer

August 3, 2011 by Alan Pedder in Blog

Theatrical Brighton duo Bitter Ruin release a new single, ‘Trust’, on September 26 to celebrate the end of their latest round of UK tourdates – only it’s not exactly new-new, having first appeared on the band’s 2008 album, We’re Not Dancing. Watch a video of Georgia and Ben playing the track at St Pancras International as part of this year’s Station Sessions below, in which they also reveal that work is underway on a follow-up album to last year’s Hung, Drawn & Quartered [review], due out in early 2012.

The Bitter Ruin tour kicks off later this month with a slew of support slots for Amanda Palmer (picking up where last year’s shows left off), then join the Duke Special tour before lining up some headline shows of their own. Catch them at the following venues:
