Shelf Lives have just dropped their first new single of the year.

Following last year’s You OK? EP, the duo have now unveiled Uncle Fred, which they say in a statement is a “fast-paced, aggro-pop anthem in the making”.

Speaking about its meaning, they continue, “Can you imagine if there was a priest – maybe… named Fred – that was so in love with Jesus that he thought he might be sexually attracted to him? Can you imagine the inner turmoil and mental chaos that would most likely cause? It could happen… it probably has.”

Watch the video for Uncle Fred below:
