This is the second track released from the Scottish duo’s forthcoming ‘Machinism’ album (due in May) and it certainly exudes an air of menace.
“Waking in the morning just to watch that video” sings Chris, the slightly subdued, defeated atmosphere of the track probably closer if anything to some of The Twilight Sad’s most alienated moments rather than MoM’s more psychedelic, guitar-led previous single.
“You’re smothering me…” go further vocals – and that is exactly how the music feels, close and oppressive – but very distinctively Man of Moon.
However the track does develop, and with Iain’s multiple percussion lines driving it forward, there are shouts of defiance, kicking against the pricks, whoever and whatever they are! With some live dates coming up later in the year, it appears that Man of Moon are back with a vengeance.
