Following last month’s excellent edgy industrial-pop cover of Tears For Fears’ “Shout,” London trio [STRANGERS] have returned with a new tune of their own.

“Shine On You” is the band’s first single of 2012, and the first glimpse of the album they’ve got in the works for later this year. Many of [STRANGERS]’ most captivating productions have been painted with darker shades, but as the new single’s cover art suggests, “Shine On You” dabbles in brighter tints and is made all the more gorgeous for the change of pace.

“The light that’s shining through is no longer black,” frontman David Maddox-Jones sings, as the music perfectly complements such sentiments — toward an ex, no less. “Shine On You” shows off the hopeful side of [STRANGERS] without sacrificing a scintilla of the epic sound we’ve come to expect from the band, only magnifying it. The last minute or so, post-bridge, is utterly transcendent.

[STRANGERS] – “Shine On You” is released on April 16.
