Today, Methyl Ethel release their single, 'Scream Whole.' The track is the first new music from the Perth band since their second record Everything Is Forgotten was released in March 2017 on 4AD. 'Scream Whole' is a nimble art-rock cut, that lead singer Jake Webb describes as, "That cold sweat. That swollen throat. That sick feeling bubbling up from your guts." The video was premiered via Consequence Of Sound. They said, "Methyl Ethel is one of Australia's weirdest, most beguiling bands, with its endlessly creative frontman Jake Webb nimbly leaping between sounds that draw upon classic pop, shoegaze, and R&B....and now the CoSigned act is back with a thrilling new song."
