They’ve shared two singles so far off the album. The first one was the opening track “New World” and this is what Stuart Staples shared about the video: “Sid was making these tiny ceramic characters, and I asked her to make some of the band. Later I wrote this song about somehow trying make sense of this strange world I felt developing around me and these little guys came back into my mind. Let’s take them on a stop motion journey across a strange land, from the barren rocks to the bountiful fruit that is not familiar and maybe poisonous. Sid put the landscapes together and moved the figures, millimetres at a time. Neil took the photographs; we edited as went along.”

The second single is for the song “Nancy” and this is what Staples shared about it: “Some say that there are only a few different types of songs. “Nancy” definitely falls in to the classic “guy fucks up / begs for forgiveness” bracket — but hopefully with a few surprises along the way. Like much of Soft Tissue, the musical spark of excitement came from the creation of the rhythm track Earl Harvin gated, echoed, and fused with a CR78. Dan McKinna’s bass and David Boulter’s organ arpeggios combining into a heavy sauce. Nice brass too.”
