Manchester based post-rock band Civil Service have just released a new sincle and accompanying video for their track “URBNDCY”. The track is taken from their forthcoming album ‘DARK ///’, out November 21st via A Cheery Wave / Ripcord Records.

Following the band’s 2024 release ‘/// LIGHT’, which was a narrative exploration of humanity’s fleeting search for meaning – whereas its stark counterpart DARK /// shifts focus to the immovable obstacles in our way. Across its sprawling, atmospheric soundscapes, the record confronts the weight of mental health struggles, the silent toll of undiagnosed conditions, the futility of power against tyranny, and the desperate but faltering attempts to find solace in chaos.

“URBNDCY [going with this stylisation, pron. Urban Decay] is a dark take on the destruction of our living environments by the humanmade perils of war, greed and pollution.” – Civil Service

You can catch Civil Service live this Friday 29th August for us at JT Soar, Nottingham along with Splinter Groop and Kusanagi
