Cardiff’s punk-rockers Robotic Safari – that includes former members of each Might Comprise Nuts, John Q Public & Detox – have launched a model new monitor ‘Sandbag’. Wahey!
The video is principally them getting all sweaty and understanding…in a non gay-porn kinda method in fact; though we will’t say we aren’t barely impressed by Nurse’s peck twitching.
Frontman Adam stated this concerning the monitor..
I wrote this in 2018. I’d been listening to a variety of They Would possibly Be Giants and I like how their lyrical metaphors are generally so abstracted from the factor they’re actually singing about. I used to be interested by this whereas on the gymnasium, trying within the mirror being inwardly merciless about my dangerous posture. In some way I acquired from that thought to “My mom was a jelly mould, my father was a sandbag”. Till most likely my late 20’s I didn’t actually suppose that train was a factor that most individuals did. I believed it was one thing extra you may do to be more healthy than common, however weirdly I didn’t suppose it was important for sustaining a traditional degree of well being. The one time I heard folks round me speaking train was in the event that they needed to drop a few pounds, however I’m already very skinny so I by no means gave train any thought. Anyway, I digress. This track is a variety of summary self-deprecation across the themes of being skinny and having dangerous posture. Musically, I needed to put in writing one thing like Cardiacs. They’re a band who actually lean in to utilizing uncommon rhythms and melodies, and that’s what I really like about them. I’d by no means used uncommon time signatures in my music till this level so I’ve NOT been tasteful about it! I believe that’s a part of the attraction of this track. Melodically and structurally it’s quite simple, however there are 3 time signatures on this track (6/4, 4/4, and three/4) and that weirdness goes properly with the lyrics.’
That is additionally their first new video since 2011 so hopefully, we gained’t have to attend as lengthy for the subsequent.
The monitor is from the bands upcoming album ‘Primary Foyer Entertainer’ so hold your eyes peeled and ensure to go observe on their FB web page for all of the updates – https://www.fb.com/RobotSafari
