The Prodigy premiere new single ‘Light Up The Sky’
I am loving the energy of this song. It's definitely getting me all hyped for the weekend! Light Up The Sky without doubt illuminates the urgency and danger that has continually defined The Prodigy throughout their career, an attack of acid rock in which guitars combine with 303 mayhem, Maxim’s spitting vocal and an uplifting chorus from long-time contributor Brother Culture.
To accompany the release they've shared an arresting lyric video that features imagery that directly links to the album sleeve. Watch it below!
Light Up The Sky is a visceral introduction to the world of No Tourists: an album that takes you on a journey through the twisted, party-hard psych of a band that has resolutely followed their own route through the underbelly of popular culture since day one. It’s every inch a Prodigy record and it's their most direct, concise and pure statement yet.
Speaking about the album Liam Howlett said,
No Tourists is ultimately about escapism and the want and need to be derailed and not to follow that easy set path. In these times we live in people have become lazier and forgotten how to explore. Too many people are allowing themselves to be force fed, with whatever that may be. It’s about reaching out further to find another alternative route where the danger and excitement may be to feel more alive… not accepting that you can just be a tourist. That’s what the title is about for us.
The band has also confirmed details of a twenty-date winter tour, which includes two dates at London’s Alexandra Palace on November 14th and 15th.
