Krooked Tongue unleash rurbulent new single ‘Blood Shark’ ahead of debut album
Krooked Tongue release their new single ‘Blood Shark,’ marking the latest preview of their debut studio album I Know A Place, due April 24th 2026 on limited edition vinyl.
Produced by Josh Gallop (Sergeant Thunderhoof, Mother Vulture), ‘Blood Shark’ opens with guitar fuzz and vocal distortion before driving forward with racing percussion and shape-shifting textures. Sledgehammer choruses collide with vocalist Oli Rainsford’s raspy delivery, as the track addresses turbulence and unfulfillment.
On the single’s lyrical inspirations, vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford explains:
“‘Blood Shark’ is a jumper cable to the lazy and uninspired aspects of ourselves. A fat uppercut to our excuses for why we can’t, or don’t do the things we want to do. Everyone experiences nodus tollens at some point in their existence. Where it seems the vicissitudes of life are too turbulent to navigate. The walls are closing in and there’s not a ladder in sight. But we often need change to inspire the solution, taking a step back and approaching our inescapable slump from a different angle.”
‘Blood Shark’ is available now on all major streaming platforms.
