Sydney trio Middle Kids today release ‘Terrible News’ the latest single from their forthcoming album Faith Crisis Pt 1, set for release on February 16.

Produced by Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, beabadoobee), ‘Terrible News’ is a confessional guitar laden track penned by lead vocalist Hannah Joy in an insecure time during the pandemic.

“There was a lot of confusion and information and rules and anger and people judging people and loss and distrust. I eventually felt so overwhelmed by all the noise, I couldn’t take it anymore.” explains Joy. “The guitars are kinda shouty too or maybe just urgent. I wanted to stack a lot of guitar layers to create almost a guitar choir. We got a friend Brendan Champion to play some brass on it which really elevates the song as it marches along.”
