It’s a romantic, slow-dance-sounding song, but if you listen carefully, the lyrics are more realistic and self-aware.“I spent a lot of my life confusing dramatic, whirlwind, fleeting romance with true love but they’re not the same thing.

It was further inspired by her divorce after her husband left her two months after her diagnosis.A statement says of the album: “‘Couples Only’ could be described as a divorce record, but really it’s much more than that…[it’s] a fearless account of facing the worst betrayals and accepting the deepest losses; it’s the realisation of one’s mortality and the impermanence of everything we know and cherish.”Appearing on the record in addition to O’Donnell are Swans’ Kristof Hahn, Blood Red Shoes’ Laura-Mary Carter, Joe Cardamone of The Icarus Line and Tchad Blake (Arctic Monkeys, Elvis Costello, Fiona Apple), who mixed the

Pam Grier doesn’t look back that often.

I like to call it the ‘Drop-Cam’ but for insurance purposes I don’t think it would catch on.”Watch The Subways’ ‘You Kill My Cool’ video and hear new B-side ‘Oi You Boy Bands’ below.With a new record coming later this year, the band is set for a run of UK headline tour dates in September and October.

Stay tuned and find out!!!”Both tracks will feature on the band’s forthcoming album, which is out on July 15.“It was a blast working with Van Alpert on the video for our song Toni,” Banks said previously of working with the director.
