Irish post-punk trio And So I watch You From Afar have shared the first single off their forthcoming third album All Hail Bright Futures.  Called “Like A Mouse,” it’s got the churning vamps and subtly Celtic tunefulness of the Belfast band’s sophomore release Gangs, but the wordless gang vocals and bucking energy evoke the ASIWYFA live experience.

We can only conclude that All Hail Bright Futures is going to rip 2013 open. It’s out on Sargent House, March 19.
