The song is part of our current playlist and is out now through Nice Swan Records. Buy it here.
Speaking about it, the band said: “Famous Last Words’ is a rumination about purpose – the realisation that any notion of inherent, and/or divine, purpose is false and subsequently the futile, scrambled attempts to forge meaning in places where meaning can never really be found.”
I’ll be completely honest: I didn’t like this song at first says lead singer Percy Junior Cobbinah, it had a voice that was just a little too rough and ready, the overall production felt a little too paired back, and nothing about the song especially grabbed me.
But then the chorus got stuck in my head while I was making lunch. It’s always the silliest of things, I suppose. So I went back and listened to it again. And then another time. By the fifth time, I was converted, and I now I see it as a solid electro-rocker that isn’t bombastic or spastic, but rather low-key and supremely cool. For a song that features a fair amount of rave-tastic electronic effects, it’s oddly relaxing, and it really benefitted from multiple replays and loops.
