Man/Woman/Chainsaw unveil their new single “Only Girl,” their first release for Fiction Records and a standout of their recent live sets. Recorded at RAK Studios with producers Seth Evans and Margo Broom, the track marks one of the band’s most immediate and joyfully unrestrained releases to date.

Vera, who takes lead vocals on the single, says:

“Only Girl is our playful love song. Built around a ripping violin top-line and birthed from a grungy guitar jam, it gradually became something more boisterous and altogether more joyful - a total declaration of love. We had a lot of fun making it.”

The single arrives off the back of a sold-out Scala and UK tour, two sold-out runs this year alone, plus live sessions for KEXP and Steve Lamacq at BBC 6 Music. The band also made a triumphant first appearance at SXSW in the spring.

Alongside today’s release, the group confirm a free-entry London show at Omeara this December, with further headline dates set for February. Their debut album is slated for 2026.
