(10th January 2022) –– Brighton's Public Body today release new single "Reset My Password", lifted from the band's upcoming EP 'Flavour Of Labour', due for self-release digitally on 4th March, 2022 and on 12" vinyl via Six Tonnes De Chair Records.
Recorded at Echo Zoo studios, produced by the band’s guitarist Theo Verney - known for his production work for FEET, English Teacher, FUR and Home Counties (and engineered by Christoph Skirl), "Reset My Password" bursts into focus amidst rolling percussion, searing guitars and fizzing synths, with singer Seb Gilmore's affirming his appreciation for his own employment status, whilst being distinctly aware of the trivial nature of 'adhering to company policy'. A cacophonous blast of agitated indie-punk, "Reset My Password" fuses the energy of naughties indie with the ferocity of modern post-punk to irresistible effect.
Commenting on the new single, Seb Gilmore said: "At the height of Covid, everyone was clapping for NHS staff and key workers… and that got me thinking what my place is in all this mess. I then logged onto my work computer and was advised by a popup that it was time to reset my password. So I wrote a song about how pointless and useless my job is to the world when everything felt like it was breaking and seemed apocalyptic."
Speaking more on their upcoming EP, Gilmore added: "Our new EP ‘Flavour Of Labour’ has a couple of different themes but it's mainly about work. At the time I had lived in Brighton for almost 10 years and for a lot of that time I'd worked pretty terrible call centre jobs. When you leave education and your first taste of full time work is working for bad companies who are either taking advantage of their employees or their customers. How can you feel good about giving 40 hours a week of your life to something like that. So heck! I'll write a song about it or like 10."
Previously supporting acts including Squid, Dry Cleaning, The Cool Greenhouse, Do Nothing amongst others, Public Body have established themselves as one of the most formidable live acts in the country, picking up frenzied acclaim from the likes of DIY Magazine, So Young Magazine, The Line Of Best Fit, Gigwise, HERO Magazine, The Forty-Five, Clash Magazine + more across their flurry of singles released to date.
Forming in Brighton in late 2018 with a clear aim to write the perfect soundtrack to whatever you do whilst procrastinating at your day job, Public Body pick apart the mundanity of daily life and all its annoyances in irresistible fashion.
Public Body are: Seb Gilmore (guitar, vocals), Theo Verney (guitar, backing vocals), Tom Bacon (synth, backing vocals), Joe Steven (bass) and Thom Mills (drums).
Public Body's new single "Reset My Password" is out now. New EP ‘Flavour Of Labour’ will be self-released on 4th March, 2022, and will be available to purchase on 12" vinyl via Six Tonnes De Chair Records. |
