Following previous singles “This Life” and “Fought 4 Love”, new single “Dr. Doctor” features warped, jagged and endlessly danceable energy. A sampled foghorn manipulated over a monstrous breakbeat lays the foundation for vocalist Leah Stanhope to channel her inner Britney crooning to a lover before giving way to a funky Prince-style guitar lick. Accompanying the track, the band star in a DIY hammer horror style video, where the eponymous, faceless doctor transforms the band from their everyday selves into horrific rock monstrosities.
