U.K. dark pop band Bitter Kisses unveiled their new single “Downtime” on Friday.

The single comes with a music video directed by Oscar Merry from sxdproduction, which can be seen below.

The band said this about the new single, which follows their previously released singles “Pr*y” and “Doctor’s Note”:

“‘Downtime’ rages at the pace of modern life and the disappearing divide between people and machines. We are left on autopilot biding our time until we shut down.”

“Downtime” is available on digital services right now.

This summer, Bitter Kisses will have performances at Moles (July 21) and the Ged Rad Festival on August 12. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets for both performances are on sale to the general public right now.
