Together with the highly-anticipated concert at Esplanade Recital Studio this Saturday (15 July), soul-funk outfit The Steve McQueens will be releasing their first single off the album TERRAЯIUM.

Titled ‘Hephaestus’, the single will be available on all streaming platforms on July 15th, while the album will only be released in September.

Documenting the quartet’s journey over the past two years, TERRAЯIUM reflects the band's new sound that will bring listeners to “exploring new directions while eschewing common traps to fall into trendy faddish ones”.

"For us, recording TERRAЯIUM was really about looking inward and finding futility in solitude," they explain in a press release, "then fully resigned to recommit to the relationships that constitute this life, we go out and buy some new kicks. This is the soundtrack for buying sneakers.”

Tickets for the TERRAЯIUM concert are still available. The launch coincides with Baybeats 2017 Day 2, featuring Amateur Takes Control, Bakers In Space, Subsonic Eye and more.
