Notably, "Poisonous Storytelling" is Andy Butler's first song with her since "Blind" from Hercules & Love Affair's 2008 self-titled debut. Also featured on the song is Budgie of Siouxsie and the Banshees, who plays drums. Additionally, the new single comes with remixes done by techno duo Giant Swan and Godflesh's Justin K Broadrick. Check out all three versions out below.

“'Poisonous Storytelling' started as a song called ‘Sacral’ - the music evoked sacred rites, but the word ‘Sacral’ also speaks to the one of the sources of our rootedness and stability,” Butler said in a statement about the song.
