Victory Kicks return with jangly new single 'Distant States'

London indie-rock group Victory Kicks are back with 'Distant States', their first new music since 2023’s Free the Night. The track also offers a melodic glimpse into the band’s upcoming album True Dawn, set for release soon.

Built on the band’s signature mix of jangling guitars and understated charm, 'Distant States' captures Victory Kicks’ intimate DIY energy while subtly pointing toward a broader sonic palette. Recorded at home in late 2023, it’s a warm, hook-laden return that continues the band’s quietly prolific streak.

Known for drawing comparisons to The National, Real Estate, and Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, True Dawn will mark the next chapter in the group’s decade-long evolution from bedroom recordings to one of the UK’s most quietly consistent indie outfits.
