Torus show their “darker, heavier side” with new single Ruby Red

Torus have unveiled a mega new single and video, Ruby Red.

The duo – singer/guitarist Alfie Glass and drummer Jack Orr – have followed up last year’s equally-killer Solitary, with Jack sharing that, “On this new single we explore themes of obsession, emotional damage and losing control when you love too hard. The lyrics are raw and direct, channelling desert rock weight with modern grungy tension. This release continues our run of singles leading into our next EP, pushing the darker, heavier side of Torus.”

Speaking about the accompanying music video, Alfie explains, “After throwing ideas around with our ex-bassist Harry Quinn who filmed the video, we decided to lean into the wacky old Beatles short film vibe and do something fun that would show off our personalities a bit more, with the ridiculous quest of trying to find the magic milk from the sacred cow that would heal us from all of our wrongdoings mixed with a brutally honest relationship driven song that had to be made in that moment heading towards a slightly darker side.”
