BLOOD WIZARD DEVIL DRESSED IN DISGUISE

Slowly gaining the recognition he deserves, London-via-Nottingham musician Cai Burns (aka Blood Wizard) details his forthcoming new album with another striking single. Following the creeping pop sensibility of 'Babytooth', 'Devil Dressed In Disguise' is the second preview of Grinning William, which is set for release via Sad Club Record on the 25th of October. Powered by a motorik drum beat, restless guitar rhythms reflect an anxious mind, whilst playful vocals lighten the mood. Burns explains: "Devil Dressed In Disguise’ was the final track I wrote for the new album 'Grinning William'. Musically, it’s very straight to the point and the lyrics have a kind of dark paranoid humour. At the time of writing, I was thinking a lot about change, how people drift apart and most specifically, how moving away from home would affect me as a person and my relationships with the people I was close to, and the lyrics reflect those fears." Vastly different in pace and tone than the aforementioned 'Babytooth', Grinning William promises to be a utterly engaging listen. -Holly Mullineaux
