“A bit like if Bruce Springsteen had a mid-’80s Jesus And Mary Chain phase” Stereogum
“Now Hear This” The Independent | "Wings Of Desire craft dazed pop jewels" CLASH
“Uplifting” DIY | “freefalling, expansive indie” DORK
The duo explain the themes around the new single - a caustic message belying the track’s downtempo elegance:
“Some Old Place I Used To Know explores the idea of an ever-changing cultural landscape. We have all come accustomed to think that we are constantly evolving but what if things weren’t actually getting better but worse. As we are being pushed towards the digitalisation of culture and as our creativity is increasingly undervalued and attention harvested.
What is the cost on our collective sanity?
One of the best acts of rebellion in this climate is to stare out of the fucking window, get lost in your own imagination for a few hours or speak to someone in the real here and now. And if none of those work for you try making something beautiful. You see you’re dangerous when you make something beautiful, something that could snap someone out of the illusion and light up their heart. That’s why they like to keep us ‘busy’.”
