William The Conqueror have today unveiled their new single The Puppet and the Puppeteer. Taken from their forthcoming album Excuse Me While I Vanish, out 28th July on Chrysalis Records, the track is the follow-up to last month’s single Somebody Else. Produced by the band in a playground of vintage gear and mixed by Barny Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, Sam Fender, Kasabian), the ten tracks on Excuse Me While I Vanish marry earworm tunes with insistent, imperious, soaring rock shapes, punctuated by chorus hooks that are simultaneously nuanced and anthemic. William The Conqueror, who played an intimate and sold-out album preview show last week, have confirmed a full UK tour in October. The band will also appear at The Great Escape in Brighton on Thursday 11th May.

They perform at Yellow Arch Studios in Sheffield on October 15th.
