| ‘Coming Or Going’ is the second official single taken from New Model Army’s brand-new studio album Unbroken, out on January 26th. Unbroken was written and recorded over an extended period of time with both the delayed 40th Anniversary shows and the Sinfonia live orchestral project taking place during the creation of the new studio album. Nevertheless, this is a very New Model Army album, full of guitars but with the emphasis, as ever, on the rhythmic power of bass and drums, as the band continue to push the boundaries of their signature sound while staying true to their heart. The subjects and moods are variable, creating a diverse collection of tracks which touch on topics ranging from social and political commentary to deeply personal reflections. In addition to ‘Coming Or Going’ it also features the lead single ‘First Summer After’ and a hard-hitting track, ‘I Did Nothing Wrong’, addressing the Post Office scandal, written and recorded well before the recent TV documentary brought the subject back into popular consciousness. ‘I Did Nothing Wrong’ is a powerful folk-rock song capturing the anguish of those falsely accused and imprisoned whilst also focusing on the ever-mounting pressures from an increasingly digitised world. Speaking about ‘I Did Nothing Wrong’ frontman Justin Sullivan says, “It’s quite extraordinary to many millions of us Brits that, years after the Post Office scandal became common knowledge, the deliberate delaying of any proper justice still continues. ‘I Did Nothing Wrong’ was actually written a couple of years ago, taking the scandal as its storyline and then taking a broader swipe at the brutal, binary, digitized world that we are stupidly allowing to replace normal human interactions.” Unbroken will be released on CD Hardcover Mediabook, Heavyweight Black LP Gatefold, Ltd. Heavyweight Red LP Gatefold and on Digital.
