The rock duo lay down the cover in BBC’s Maida Vale studios as part of a BBC Radio 1 live session. They also performed versions of their recent singles ‘Monsters’ and ‘Soprano’, taken from their forthcoming album ‘Parasites and Butterflies’.

The drummer Jake Woodward also shared a preview of the track via a drum cam, which you can see below:

‘Parasites and Butterflies’ is Nova Twins’ third record, following 2022’s ‘Supernova’. It is set for release on August 29 via Marshall. Visit here to pre-order or pre-save the release.

It was recorded in Vermont alongside legendary producer Rich Costey, and is set to be “a bold exploration of contrasts—chaos and beauty—blending raw intensity with their signature boundary-pushing creativity”, according to a new press release.

As for the record as a whole, the motif comes as an exploration of the grey area between “chaos and beauty”, and is set to see both Amy Love and Georgia South take a more vulnerable approach than previously seen.

“‘Parasites & Butterflies’ is about the bridge between chaos and beauty, embracing and accepting both sides,” they explained. “‘Supernova’ was about being superhuman in a time when we needed to be. With ‘Parasites & Butterflies’, we wanted to showcase something deeply human: how vulnerability can be as empowering as it is revealing in its honesty.”

“By playing with opposites, light and shade, you can feel a contrast throughout the album,” they added. “You’ll find songs that make you want to dance, cry, self-reflect, or even escape. Life is a constant balancing act, but the thrill of the unknown is what makes us feel truly alive.”

It has also been announced that, later this year, the duo will hit the road as part of a huge UK and European headline tour, which will see them play some of their biggest shows to date.

The dates kick off with a show at Tivoli Vredenburg in Utrecht on September 17, and continue with further stops in Cologne, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Milan and more throughout the month. The European leg of the tour continues into October too, before being followed by UK dates. These include a gig at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London on October 18 – visit here for tickets.
