South London art rock sextet Man/Woman/Chainsaw have today announced their signing to Fiction Records, home to The Cure, St. Vincent and Billie Marten. The news of their signing is followed by the release of new single ‘Only Girl’ with a debut album expected to follow in 2026. Lead vocalist on this track, Vera describes it as ‘our playful love song. Built around a ripping violin top-line and birthed from a grungy guitar jam’.
