This is the first single from the new Headman album. The track features vocals by Silver Jan and a remix by Zillas on Acid. It’s the first new material produced since the self-titled Robi Insinna mini album and SASM, the new band project with Douglas J McCarthy from Nitzer Ebb, released on Industria in 2018.
The single has a kind of NYC 80’s vibe, which is pretty much what the music was always about, strong retro raw edge funk machine driven sounds. The use of analog equipment, synthesizers, bass and loads of outboard gear is a trademark of Robi Insinna’s production. Saying that, the idea is not just to copy the past, but to take influences from it to create something new. Zillas on Acid rework the track into a slow-driving techno chugger, taking it in a darker and more sinister direction.
No Surprises is a funky new wave track echoing the optimism of past decades.
Take a listen below.
