Penguins Kill Polar Bears announce new single and UK Tour!

Breaking news from Penguins Kill Polar Bears!

Following on from the success of their second EP, Vessels & Veins, the Linlithgow boys are back with a brand new single, Sapling. The aforementioned EP and subsequent UK tour, has already made 2011 a successful year for the boys with brilliant reviews across the board from magazines and websites like The Skinny, This Is Fake DIY, The Line of Best Fit and The List.

Sapling sees Penguins Kill Polar Bears slow down their tempo to allow Ben Proudlock’s distinct vocals to dominate the first half of the song. The tune then explodes into a symphony of distortion during the bridge, before gracefully settling back down into a gentle groove.

B-side, "Geiger" provides a bass heavy electro groove contrast to the title track, with ethereal guitars creating a mournful ambience that sweeps over the listener. It's a departure from the band's usual wall-of-sound assault of guitars and drums, and only goes to show that they are more than willing to develop and experiment with their already popular signature sound.

They plan to hit the road again in May to support the single’s release. They're sure to get fans, both old and new, hungry with anticipation for their debut album, which will be unleashed in early 2012.
