Split Chain have announced that a deluxe reimagined version of ‘motionblur’ is on its way, and it features a fantastically mind-boggling new single.

The album’s new version is set to be released on September 11 via Epitaph Records, and it’s going to be a special one. Each track on the band’s debut album has been reimagined, featuring a whole load of special guests from the next generation of the alt. scene.

So far, all we know is that London hardcore heavyweights False Reality will be leaning a hand on ‘SPIT’, and Las Vegas’ Roman Candle will be making an appearance on ‘Headway’.

Speaking on creating this fresh take on ‘motionblur’, the band have shared:

“We are so, so proud of what we created with ‘motionblur’, and we wanted to come up with a way to celebrate it all over again, in a way that both shows love to the scene that has helped us get where we are now, as well as including many of the friends that we’ve made along the way.

“We get that everyone interprets music in their own way, and so we invited a bunch of mates to feature across the album, so that we could hear their individual interpretations of the songs. It came out so much better than we could have even hoped, and we truly believe the work and energy that every person has done on every song is incredible. The cast of names on this version on this album is sick, and we know people are gonna love it just as much as we do. We’re so incredibly grateful to every single artist that has helped the deluxe become a reality and we genuinely can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks.”

If that wasn’t enough though, the album will also feature a handful of new tracks.

Recent single ‘sylvia (i won’t belong to you)’ is on the tracklist, as well as the freshly dropped ‘scatterbrain’.

Take a listen to that one below.

Speaking a little about their new arrival, the band have shared:

“Like all of our other music, ‘scatterbrain’ comes from personal experiences growing up that we’re sure everyone can relate with to some degree. It’s a song about the slow degradation of friendships, relationships and family ties. How all of a sudden, when things can seem to be at their best, the other person in the relationship, friendship or the family member seems to stop pulling their weight. They start to get caught up in their own thing, get lost in their head, and either consciously or subconsciously pull away without providing any reason whatsoever, leaving the other person with nothing but feelings of abandonment, unrequited love and questions.”

Split Chain will be heading back out on a UK headline tour later this year too, with special guests False Reality and Roman Candle.

Here’s what they had to say about that news:

“Since the band started back in 2023, everything has happened for us so quickly. Before we knew it, we’d signed with Epitaph, put out our debut LP, have spent the past 10 months since release touring across Europe, the US, Canada and Australia. There was a point amongst all of the chaos where we realised that we hadn’t actually toured the UK since way before ‘motionblur’ was released. We decided that we absolutely had to give the album a proper tour at home, and we’re so stoked that it’s finally happening. Not only that, but we also get to tour with some really sick bands in False Reality and Roman Candle, who we all love. We’re genuinely really excited to tour the UK again and can’t wait to get back out on the road.”
