Chew Magna Share New Single “Secrets”

Manchester UK’s Chew Magna are back with a feedback drenched ode to compulsive lying, bull shitting and hyperbole. Released via Stray Cat Records and clocking in at just over two minutes, what Secrets lacks in duration it makes up for in volume. The track is a concise pop tune buried under unyielding guitar squall, but when the choruses hits you get thundering chords and Laurie Hulme’s soaring vocal. Secrets is follow up to the band’s previous singles, Listless, 4232 and Spat Out, and is the fourth track to be unleashed from the band’s upcoming debut album. Chew Magna are currently booking a UK tour to coincide with the release of their debut full length.

“Secrets originally started life as an acoustic song I wrote for my folk group but we jammed it a few times, channelling bands like Sebadoh and Superchunk and it transformed pretty quickly. I wrote the song partly about my tendency to exaggerate details when I tell my dull anecdotes…but it also taps into bigger themes of bullshitting and gross exaggeration I see every day on social media or in advertising etc”. (Laurie Hulme)
