"Hard Boiled Wonderland" finds Korody working between the sounds of Chemical Brothers disco and the colourful house aesthetics of The Orb and Primal Scream's Screamadelica. Heady rhythms are bedded with fuzzy synths and angular guitars.
Speaking about the new single, Korody says: "'Hard Boiled Wonderland' is an important track to me because it was the first song on the album I put vocals down for. I essentially found my "new voice" which ends up dominating the record. I really love the energy of this track so much. Lyrically it's the only song that isn't about anything specific. It's a complete stream of consciousness style of writing as a result of the early stages of the pandemic and feeling extremely existential which ends up making the song quite nihilistic while still anthemic."
