The Wildhearts have released a NSFW video for their new single Let ‘Em Go.

The track features on their Renaissance Men (opens in new tab) album, which launched today through Graphite Records. It’s their their first record since 2009’s ¡Chutzpah!.

The Wildhearts say: “Let ‘Em Go is a song about ridding your life of wankers. The Wildhearts feel it is healthy to demand quality friendship and get rid of all the shit from your life.” 

Let ‘Em Go follows Dislocated (opens in new tab), which was released back in February.

Today also sees The Wildhearts embark on a UK tour (opens in new tab) along with a series of in-store signing sessions in HMV and Fopp stores across the country. They’ll play at the Manchester Academy later tonight.
