about

Musically inspired by the sounds of Corridor and Omni, ‘French Disconnection’ arrives as the final offering
from their new EP. Born out of a common desire to f
ind the door which leads elsewhere, the track flaunts
the band’s capabilities in its catchiest form. With cutting riffs, precise drums and powerful harmonies, held
together by the anchor of a galvanised
-
steel bassline, this song is the most dance floor fri
endly offering from
the band to date.

lyrics

Surf the English Channel for a change of colour scheme
Escape from the black and white
Warm glow of the traffic lights

Straighten my story, god I’m caught up in a lie
Living a double life
Weekend are occupied

But nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Sunbathing creatures on the coast of Saint-Tropez
Forcing a happy face
The dawn of the super race

Hotel bathroom colourscape
Painted labyrinth leads my pulse to fluctuate
The fourth wall is starting to break

But where does it go
Where does it go
Where does it go
Where does it go

Nobody knows (comme si comme sa)
Nobody knows (excuses moi)
Nobody knows (vivant ce soir)
Nobody knows (vivant ce soir)
Nothing at all

French Disconnection
French Disconnection
French Disconnection
Disconnect
Disconnect
Disconnect my eyes
