British indie-rock trio [**William The Conqueror**](https://glamglare.com/artist/william-the-conqueror?ref=glamglare.com) released the brooding yet at the same time, utterly enchanting “The Puppet and the Puppeteer,” exquisitely expressing the song’s intent. The track marks the follow-up to their previously released single “Somebody Else,” both are cuts from their upcoming album [*Excuse Me While I Vanish*](https://wtc.lnk.to/EMWIVPR?ref=glamglare.com), due out on July 28 via Chrysalis Records. Asked about their new single, frontman **Ruarri** says:

> “‘The Puppet and the Puppeteer’ could be a Jekyll and Hyde or Frankenstein’s monster story—about wrestling with or losing control of your creation—who controls whom. I definitely feel like William has the upper hand sometimes.”

Bandmates **Harry** and **Nae** add:

> “It’s a favourite for us in our live shows. It deserves to be played loud, on a big sound system. You can bring the hustle, the mosh and the lighter sway to this party.”

The video is filmed at Marshall Studios by **John Paveley**, with editing by **Shea McChrystal**. Listen to “The Puppet and the Puppeteer,” our Song Pick of the Day, and enjoy the video:
