Cleopatrick have returned with dynamic new single ‘Hammer’, a first taste of their forthcoming second album.

The start of a new chapter for the Toronto duo, it comes ahead of their one-off intimate sold-out show at London’s Oslo, taking place on November 19.

Speaking on ‘Hammer’, the band’s Luke Gruntz has shared:

“This song is about getting pummelled by the big guy. Like really just completely flattened out. it’s about the act of not only accepting your beat down, but actually welcoming it. Waving to the cosmic hammer as it comes down on the top of your head. Guiding its aim for the sake of politeness and efficiency, of course. Facilitating the expeditious destruction of your sovereign impulse, so that the powers above may move forward with whatever the next phase of their very important plan might be with greater speed. It’s not really up to you to understand much more than that — you actually shouldn’t ask those kinds of questions: just take it!”
