Brighton, UK’s Egyptian Blue share their new single “Matador” out via Yala! Records. Following an enforced break during the dark days of pandemic and latterly pouring all their collective creative energies into creating a new sound that showcases an undeniable new ambition, hunger and dimension; Egyptian Blue are poised and ready to pick up their mantle as one of the best new guitar bands in the UK.

Matador is - as people are coming to expect from Egyptian Blue - fierce, direct and unrelenting. A three minute burst of energy; a live favourite that transcends beguiling guitar blissfulness, reminiscent of early Interpol.

“Matador is a remark on the unwanted perils of keeping toxic relationships at an arms length, yet being unwillingly compliant and searching for the exit. I seem to recall the song coming together in a sole session after a 20 minute jam. With some songs you walk out of the practice room feeling excited and strangely liberated. I think that feeling was really captured at the time."
