We’ve all found ourselves frustrated at the Instagram-worthy lives that people portray on social media, and that feeling is exactly what The Pleasure Dome have channeled in their latest effort. That and a call to check ourselves on our own behaviour and, well, give ourselves a break.
Recorded live with producer Theo Verney (Pip Blom, Egyptian Blue), the track does well to convey that chaotic live energy that we’re all craving so much, package it up and deliver it with complete clarity. There’s no reprieve, as the track bursts into life at full force from the get-go and maintains that level of intensity throughout. Pair that with the acrimonious narrative from singer and guitarist Bobby Spender and the result is unignorable.
Speaking on the track, Spender explains that, “self love is important. It’s important for our mental health, our relationships and even to our dreams and ambitions. Sometimes you wonder if anyone will love you, first love yourself.”
