Palaye Royale vowed to undergo a sonic transformation following their first pair of full length albums. With two previous singles indicating where they're headed next, it doesn't get much clearer than on the new song "Hang On To Yourself."

The title itself is noteworthy as the Canadian power trio retains stylistic hallmarks that define the group (glitter rock guitar and a snarling attitude), while they leave behind aspects of their past in pursuit of bombastic, multi-layered, pop-edged dance rock. ...Did you get all that?

"Ever since our first EP, The End's Beginning we have been hinting and hiding words and symbols in everything we have created. Boom Boom Room Side A and Side B was a continuation of this existential treasure hunt. Now as we enter the new era, it all begins to unfold," stated the band.

Diamond doll face
Dreamer girl
With the messed up coke teeth
Poppies and pearls
Wearing in my new cold sweat
Like some viewed up dead beat minor threat

We got the love in automatic
Bang bang, now hear me shout it
Shoot shoot, you better leave or hang on
Cause we got loves electric magic
Bang bang it’s automatic
Shoot shoot you better leave or hang on
Hang on to yourself

Friday black out guarantee
Full of cocaine champagne
Enter the sleaze
Passions black tar
Silver spoon
On a downer baby
Fly to the moon

We got the love in automatic
Bang bang, now hear me shout it
Shoot shoot, you better leave or hang on
Cause we got loves electric magic
Bang bang, it’s automatic
Shoot shoot, you better leave or hang on
Hang on to yourself

We got the love in automatic
Bang bang, now hear me shout it
Shoot shoot, you better leave or hang on
Cause we got loves electric magic
Bang bang, it’s automatic
Shoot shoot, you better leave or hang on
Hang on to yourself
You got to hold
You got to hold
You got to hold
Hang on to yourself
You got to hold
You got to hold
You got to hold

The single follows the release of new songs "Nervous Breakdown" and "Fucking With My Head" and, together, all three music videos follow a story from drummer Emerson Barrett's Neutopian graphic novel.
