Be forewarned, The Black Queen don’t sound anything like Dillinger Escape Plan, despite sharing Greg Puciato. Instead, there’s more to be found in common with the electronic trio members Joshua Eustis and Steven Alexander’s on-off involvement with Nine Inch Nails. Add a little 80s avant-garde into the mix, and you’ve arrived at new track, ‘Maybe We Should’ (premiering over at Rolling Stone).
The track arrives as the band announce their debut album, ‘Fever Daydream’ on the 29th January 2016, and shows at Complex LA in Glendale, California that same day, and London’s Oslo on the 5th February.
“Originally, we had envisioned this project being something much more gauzy and probably guitar-oriented,” Josh Eustis explains to Rolling Stone. “At some point it just took a left turn and become very electronic.”
“Maybe We Should’ was the first song we finished that we didn’t throw out, back in January 2013,” Greg Puciato adds, speaking of the new track. “This was the one that, when we heard it, we felt we had a special combination of things. The rare instance, that you chase as an artist, of having your creation exactly match what you’re feeling.”
