Big Special have released a new single titled ‘DRAGGED UP A HILL (and thrown down the other side)’.
The single follows last month’s release of ‘PLAINTIVE NATIVE’ and their surprise second album ‘NATIONAL AVERAGE.’ dropped in July. Recently, Big Special also collaborated with Sleaford Mods on ‘The Good Life’, featuring Gwendoline Christie in its video.
Reflecting on the new single, Joe Hicklin remarks, “A song written a while ago that we picked back out of our dusty drawer. It’s about the old labouring days and the feeling of getting nowhere in love and work, despite the graft. Disclaimer: Don’t listen whilst drunk.”
