Mannequin Death Squad have announced that their second album ‘Wise And Dangerous’ will arrive on November 22, featuring the newly released single ‘Safe And Warm’.
Following previously released singles ‘Monsters’ and ‘Everybody’s Movin’ new single ‘Safe And Warm’ is a blazing cut featuring Shane Parsons of DZ Deathrays.
Speaking on the new track, the band have shared:
“‘Safe and Warm’ explores the lengths that people will go to stay comfortable and not inconvenienced, even if it’s to their downfall. Shining a light on reliance and control, it explores how complacency can be exploited in all areas of life.
“Listening back, the song definitely inspires us to become more self-reliant and responsible for our own destiny, free of external control. It also feels like a battle between weakness and strength that pulls back and forth throughout the 2 minutes and 39 seconds of guitar driven chaos.
“The idea for bringing in Shane was really fun too. The song was pretty much finished, but we felt it needed an extra edge and level of play. We immediately thought his vocals would fit the vibe and intensity of the song. We love the DZ stuff so it was cool to have him DM us back on Insta saying he’s keen to be on the track. We absolutely love how it all came out.”

Mannequin Death Squad’s new album will arrive via the band’s own release arm, Riot Love Records, on November 22.
Speaking on the album, the band have shared:
“This one feels super special to us, we explore a bit of a different style in some tracks but it’s still full of everything that makes us MDS.
“A lot of the songs were written on tour just after the world opened up again a couple of years ago. So there is a hell of a lot of energy and raw emotion scattered throughout the 11 tracks. ‘Wise and Dangerous’ is a concept album about how people can be considered dangerous by those who seek to control them.”
