The powerful song is the latest preview of the Savages frontwoman’s second solo album, ‘You Heartbreaker, You’, which is out on August 29 via Fiction (pre-order/pre-save here).
“This track was written with the energy of a moshpit in mind, while highlighting the brain rot caused by endless phone scrolling,” Beth explained of the unrelenting, chaotic thrasher.
“It reclaims the urge to ‘put down the screen‘ and feel ‘your skin on my skin‘. Perfect lyrics for crowd surfing.”
‘High Resolution Sadness’ is accompanied by a split-screen, vertically-shot official video, directed by Beth and her creative partner and longtime collaborator Johnny Hostile. Tune in here:
The single follows on from Beth’s recent solo offerings ‘Broken Rib’, ‘Obsession’ and ‘No Good For People’.
Next month, the vocalist will play a brief string of intimate UK in-store shows in partnership with Rough Trade. These special performances will follow Beth opening for Queens Of The Stone Age at their two huge shows at Sheffield’s Rock N Roll Circus in a few weeks.
She recently confirmed a 2025 UK and European headline tour too, including two gigs in London. Find any remaining tickets here.
Speaking to NME earlier this year, the singer opened up about what fans could expect from the live shows for her new LP.
“I think people want to see some real shit now: things with integrity, things with presence,” Beth told us. “That’s where I want to go.”
She added: “The album is a heart-to-heart so the stage will be eyes-to-eyes. It’s about a moment. I’ve been a huge fan of Fugazi since I was a teenager so there will be elements of that raw, unique energy.”
Beth released her first record under her own name in 2020 with the acclaimed ‘To Love Is To Live’, which earned a four-star review from NME.
