BOSTON MANOR have shared the video for the new single “Sliding Doors,” their second new song of 2024 and one that rides waves of spiking distortion and cuts rich grooves as it goes.
“Sliding Doors” portrays the sometimes seismic impact that the seemingly innocuous actions in our day to day lives can have. It’s a song that in many ways leads right back to the start of Boston Manor.
“‘Sliding Doors’ is named after that movie of the same name,” says singer Henry Cox. “I called it that because when we were writing it I started thinking about all of the decisions that I’ve made that have led me to the life I have and how circumstantial a lot of it is. It got me thinking about how Boston Manor started. I’d had a few conversations with Dan [Cunniff, bass] and Mike [Cunniff, lead guitar] (who I barely knew at the time) about starting a band. But at that time, I was in art school in a different city and I had a bunch of other stuff going on. I was also starting like two other bands with different people so I figured it was just something that you talk about.”
