Manic Street Preachers have shared a trailer for their upcoming new album ‘The Ultra Vivid Lament’ – you can watch it below.Frontman James Dean Bradfield can be heard in the opening moments of the album teaser singing the lines “We live in Orwellian times” from the new song ‘Orwellian Times’, which Nicky Wire spoke to NME about earlier this year.“We’ve written one really brilliant Manics song called ‘Orwellian’,” Wire told NME. “We’ve demoed that and it feels like a bit of a signpost to where we’re going.

It’s got a bit of an ‘If You Tolerate This’ retro-futurism about it. It’s our shining light at the moment.”Elsewhere in the trailer – which you can watch below – a further clip of a song which the Manics shared on their social media.
