FKA Twigs Plays The ‘Drums Of Death’ On New Single

British songstress FKA Twigs continues to roll out the red carpet for her highly anticipated third album Eusexua. She first gave a taste of the album back in September with the title track and followed it up last month with the single “Perfect Stranger.” For the latest offering, “Drums of Death,” Twigs had a little help from frequent collaborator Koreless.

While “Eusexua” and “Perfect Stranger” were more straightforward dance floor-ready tracks, “Drums of Death” is notably more avant-garde, complete with glitchy distortions of lyrics and an equally eyebrow-raising music video. “Hello, what you like? Do you wanna meet later? / Relax and ease your mind 'cause you work so much / I know what you like, and you're my main character / I'm here anytime, you can call me up,” she sings on the track.

For Twigs, Eusexua is more than just an album. “It is my opus and truly feels like a pin at the center of the core of my artist,” she told fans on social media back in September. “Eusexua was birthed in chicken scratch, written on the back of my hand in a toilet at a rave in Prague: ‘This room of fools, we make something together’ and we do. We rave, we sweat, we kiss, we make love to the booming thud of culture.”

The project has been in the can for some time. Twigs explained to Nylon back in August that she realized the album was meant for movement and not casual listening when she first played it for executives at her record label earlier this year.

“I just feel so happy to have finished my record and to be sharing it with my friends,” she said. After hosting a listening party for her album in New York, she knew she’d made something magical. “I finally feel at peace that people have heard it and they love it as much as I do. I feel like I'm vibrating on the inside, because it's so raw, and it's so true,” she said. “I hope it means something for culture.”

Eusexua is out Jan. 24.
