“Hazmat Suits” arrives as a swathe of bug-eyed guitar lines cut with a pummeling rhythm section as primary songwriter, Dan Hyndman provides another tongue-firmly-in-cheek take on the dystopian landscape playing out around us.
"The concept for Hazmat Suits bizarrely predates the pandemic," explains Hyndman. "It then quickly became relevant and I retroactively rewrote some of the verses. I saw a group of guys in Hazmat Suits going into a building in Leeds town center around March, it was a really strong image that made me pick the tune-up again. It evoked a real modern dystopian vibe."
"Musically it's pretty riffy and it’s one of the few tunes on the new record Ty had a hand in writing prior to his passing. It’s got some cheesy danceable 90’s vibes too which is always fun and our zaniest guitar solo to date. Nearly a year away from its conception it possibly feels a bit on the nose to release a tune called Hazmat Suits but at the time it was kinda prescient. That’s our excuse anyway."
