The Lottery Winners have shared a new single called ‘Dirt And Gold’, starring Frank Turner. Check it out below.The track marks the latest single to be shared by the band from their upcoming album ‘KOKO’.

The long-awaited follow-up to their first UK Number One album, 2023’s ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’, the record is set to arrive on March 21 via Modern Sky (pre-order here).Taking on a passionate, high-energy feel, the new single gradually builds into a defiant, empowering anthem and champions a message of resilience.“They say you build it and they will come/ But if they don’t at least you’ve built something / And we’re so good at demolition / That now we’ve got nothing / We can’t stop it all from crumbling,” sings frontman Thom Rylance as the song develops.“We’re wild animals in a cage / And we’re plotting our escape / We scratch our nails into the walls / As we’re counting down the days / In the hope that we’ll be saved.”The track features contributions from Frank Turner, in what is now his third successive appearance on a Lottery Winners album.“It’s become a tradition to have Frank on our records now, which is bananas for me to say, as he’s genuinely one of my favourite artists on the planet,” said Rylance. “When I wrote ‘Dirt and Gold’, I knew it had to be Frank.

There’s nobody else who can deliver a chorus like he can. With such ferocity, while remaining melodic and tuneful.”Turner also spoke about the appearance on the track, adding: “Collaborating with the Lottery Winners has become one of my favourite musical traditions.
