Promotion
On 3 January 2014, "Bows & Arrows" premiered on Rolling Stone magazine's website. According to singer Ricky Wilson, the song was recorded in a studio under McDonalds in Islington, and bassist Simon Rix came up with its title. "I liked the idea that bows and arrows are pretty useless on their own but when you get them together, they can be quite formidable. A bit like us lot, really. I love being in a band. It's daft to think you can do it alone. It's about not being afraid of emotion. It can be the strongest weapon we have. What's wrong with a load of blokes admitting they need each other? [It's] a sliver of hope through all the futility and loss on the record. You can also dance to it," said Wilson.[5]
