Seatbelts are set to release their new single ‘Content Crush’ on December 6 via Rooftop Records.
Taken from the band’s forthcoming EP, ‘Please Slow Down’, the track's lyrical content expands upon some of the themes James Madden and Ryan Murphy (Hooton Tennis Club) have previously touched upon.
“I've been thinking about escapism, the value of experiences, how people find hope in the face of disillusionment. We live in a rapidly changing, progressively ‘weirder’ world - and it affects people," says Madden.
Though definitely keeping to its indie roots, ‘Content Crush’ leans towards art-pop and jazz, with the help of brass and woodwind instrumentalist, Nick Branton (Dead Hedge Trio), who employs bass clarinet and cornet to create a feeling of warmth which pushes against Madden’s vacillating guitar. The lush instrumentation culminates in a fast, busy chorus, reflective of our instant-media abundant world.
