Topshelf Records and Big Scary Monsters recently announced the signing of London indie rock trio Doe, who will be releasing their second album, Grow into It, on September 28th. Today they have shared the upcoming record’s second single, “Labour like I Do” along with its video.
“‘Labour like I Do’ is one of those songs that came flowing out like a stream of consciousness,” says singer and guitarist Nicola Leel. “For that reason it’s lyrically one of the more straight up songs on the record, but sometimes it’s cool when you blurt out a bunch of words to music and realise you’ve used songwriting as a form of accidental therapy.”
