U.K. electropop act Self Esteem has dropped their new single “Moody” today.

The track comes from their forthcoming studio album Prioritise Pleasure, which is set for an October 22 release on Fiction Records. The artist said this about their new single, which is available on digital services right now:

“Moody is a song about reclaiming being a moody cow. My whole life I’ve been referred to as mardy (northern for moody) but lately I’ve been realising as a woman in this world, especially as a woman in the music industry, of fucking course I’m moody! It’s such a slog even getting heard, every day shitting yourself about your safety, the societal expectations. I’d love to be sweet and happy go lucky but I’m afraid I’m too tired to be most of the time.”

Self Esteem has also announced dates for their 2022 tour across the U.K. All album pre-orders done before Monday will gain access to a special tour presale, which starts on Tuesday. Their updated tour routing can be seen below. A tour across the United States will be announced soon.
