Those enigmatic and reclusive boys Pure X have shared “Someone Else,” another song from their forthcoming LP Crawling Up the Stairs, which is due out May 14th on Acephale Records. As ever, the track embodies dark pop with hazy, minimalistic instrumentation. However, “Someone Else” possesses less melodic elements and the eerie, moaning vocals are mixed more prominently than on previously released song “Things In My Head.” Additionally, the band has announced a tour that includes a date in Austin at Holy Mountain and Houton/San Antonion/Dallas dates with the Black Angels. Stream “Someone Else” below; full tour dates follow.
