The song is out today (October 14) and is the follow-up to their album 'Excerpts From Chapter 3: The Mind Runs A Net Of Rabbit Paths', released earlier this year through Fire Records. Get it here.
Taking inspiration from a brief visit in Osaka touring with Franz Ferdinand, ‘Osaka’ is an awayday with a difference that echoes Robert Smith while we reach a warp speed space rock trajectory. A track from the new album’s outtakes, it’s an anthem for a mighty city and, as tour guides to future hybrid sounds go, Rotterdam’s Rats On Rafts give new meaning to the concept of a “TRIP” advisor.
Singer David Fagan, explains: “The song has become one of our favourites to play live. The music video was recorded live as part of our music film for ‘Visions Of Chapter 3..’. Because of restrictions it was impossible to play our new album live so we recorded a live show in which many different art forms are combined. We always wanted to create a live music-video with an arranged feel, the music, dance, visuals - it’s all live!”
