The Slow Readers Club have shared a new live video for their latest single, ‘You Opened Up My Heart’, filmed at their sold out Manchester Albert Hall show last year. The track is taken from their third album, Build A Tower, out May 4th via Modern Sky.

Encapsulating the captivating energy of the band’s live performance, the video sees the band perform the track to a packed out crowd of over 2,000 enthralled fans. It follows the release of the official video; a pulsating collage of glitchy visuals and atmospheric ambience.

‘You Opened Up My Heart’ is the latest single from the upcoming album, following the tracks ‘Lunatic’ and ‘Through The Shadows’, both of which feature on the new album.

The band will be touring the UK in support of Build A Tower, starting this week in Cardiff and continuing throughout May. Leeds, Northwich, Manchester and Stoke have sold out, with Manchester selling out in less than 24 hours. Full dates can be found below.

Manchester four piece, The Slow Readers Club, have announced their new album, Build A Tower, which will be released on May 4 via Modern Sky. Specialising in a dark and brooding indie electro that has drawn comparisons with Interpol, The Killers and The National, The Slow Readers Club have already received acclaim from the likes of Steve Lamacq, Peter Hook and Eddy Temple Morris, as well as having supported James on their arena tour, and performed at festivals including Isle Of Wight, Festival No.6 and Kendall Calling. The Slow Readers Club will be completing an extensive UK tour in support of Build A Tower running throughout April and May this year.

Build A Tower was recorded close to home at Edwin Street Recording Studios in Bury and produced by Phil Bulleyment (Gaz Coombes, Dutch Uncles). It will be the band’s third album, and their first with Modern Sky, following the release of their eponymous debut (2011) and Cavalcade (2015), both of which were released independently.

The band said of the release: “We’re really proud of the record as we’ve learned a lot since our last, self-released, album. Build A Tower feels like a big step up. Even though fans have heard a couple of the tracks played on the last tour, there’s a lot we’ve been holding back until they had the album in their hands, so we’re also looking forward to getting out and playing live. We're excited to see what people make of our new music.”
