New Entry: Sea Power Unveil New Single "Folly"

UK indie/alt band Sea Power (FKA British Sea Power) have unveiled their new single “Folly”.

The song is taken from their forthcoming new album 'Everything Was Forever', set to be released on February 11, 2022 via the band’s own label Golden Chariot. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it, guitarist Martin Noble had said: “‘Folly’ is in the tradition of singalong Sea Power apocalyptic anthems—everyone ambling down the road to a multitude of catastrophes. Party on! You might find yourself standing up on the South Downs, up on the fells or the dales, looking down at the world, a world where we seem to avoid the decisions and changes to stop the rot. It’s all folly, but in this case set to some pretty life-affirming music—good stuff underpinning the donut vibes and maybe making you think it’s not all over, not quite, not yet.”

Vocalist/guitarist Neil Hamilton Wilkinson added: “I was thinking of things like greedy overlords playing fart games on the lawns of their great dominions, the enclosure of common lands, bodies, minds, the fantastical gusto of doom and frivolity that feeds the world, me included. I was feeling all on edge, paranoid like the old vampire in Nosferatu when I got into this song.”

New Entry: Egyptian Blue Return New Single "Salt"

Brighton psychedelic-punk/post punk band Egyptian Blue have returned with their punchy new single "Salt".

The song, produced by long-time collaborator Theo Verney (English Teacher, Lazarus Kane, FUR), is out now through Yala Records and is the first glimpse of their highly anticipated debut album, which will be released in 2022. Get it here.

‘Salt’ finds the band’s taut pin-point rhythms providing the fuel for their energised cocktail of euphoria and exasperation. The track captures a ticking time bomb of suppressed anxieties about the world around us. 

Singer Andy Buss opens the track with the lines “I’ve been chasing my own tail, laughing out of every single pore, don’t wanna talk about it…”,  Andy explains: “the song came from a series of anxiety dreams containing monotonous behaviours that felt like walls closing in. That sense of chasing my own tail. Jumping into the dark pit of the pandemic only served to heighten this”.

 

The explosive chorus of ‘Salt’ is aimed at shouting down the gang of emotions that stems from the fake smiles of our feverish world. Andy goes on to explain: “I’d been reading this book called ‘On Solitude’ by Michel De Montaigne and we’d been discussing it on a slow ferry to Dublin. When I wrote ‘Salt’, seeing the world as a feverish dream, the book resonated with my sense that we can cover-up emotions and nervous energy with a veil of pretending to be ok”.
