Lake Malice have unleashed a “desperate and frustrated” new single, Scatterbrain – watch the accompanying music video now.
Lake Malice have revealed a killer new single called Scatterbrain.
Arriving ahead of a busy few months – including supporting this week’s Kerrang! Cover star RØRY in March – the duo’s new effort is about “feeling disillusioned and overwhelmed in modern day society”.
Says Blake Cornwall: “The repeating chant ‘Spin, wash, repeat, mind, soul, body, neat’ is a metaphor for struggling to keep up in a chronically online, superficial and capitalistic society, leaving little time to take care of yourself and make meaningful social connections.
“The line ‘I can’t trust my bank, I’ve no five-year plan, but I’m so good at dreaming’ is a commentary on the unrealistic expectations to achieve the same prospects and goals of older generations. Despite having constant access to each other’s lives through social media, we have never felt more disconnected from the world around us and anxious to leave our homes.
“The themes of desperation and frustration are reflected musically by glitchy, hyper-pop-inspired rhythms, in contrast with an anthemic rock chorus and anger-fuelled, modern metalcore guitar riffs.”
