audiobooks are pleased to announce their new single, ‘Friends in the Bubble Bath’, taken from their celebrated debut LP Now! (in a minute), which was released last year. Speaking about the track, the band say: “It’s song about friendship, about living in the present, though still being aware of the transient nature of everything. But even when things pass, a skeletal memory remains which can still summon up a living essence. …. and enjoying bubble baths.”

The track comes with a video directed by acclaimed fashion photographer Alasdair McLellan. “I really liked the song, and the word “bubblebath” in the title” McLellan says. “It reminded me of growing up in suburbia, so I filmed the video around my hometown and surrounding areas of Doncaster, Barnsley and Sheffield. I wanted to make the video like one of those really dramatic kitchen sink drama from the sixties.”
