NEW SINGLE!! ‘King Quail’ is out today via Bella Union on all major digital streaming services! This song is about learning to be comfortable the way you are, breaking away from any fear of rejection or the feeling that we have to exaggerate ourselves into some insincere showpiece to impress others.
This one was a collaboration with Zoe from Wyldest. I had the bones of the song with an OP-1 loop and a motorik 808 beat, and the two of us spent an evening shaping it into a psychedelic krautrocky pop-song, with Zoe adding spacey guitar and me crashing out on drums. The song was co-produced by myself, Zoe and JMAC, with Iggy engineering the final drum sessions. The visual was self-directed and filmed by Elliot Tatler, very loosely representing the 3 stages of the ‘modelled appearance’ we use to try and impress others.
