Brighton’s Youth Sector are back with new single ‘No Fanfare’ - with a big fanfare for this irresistibly catchy ode to frustrations of the daily grind.
The track - which follows 'Tonight' from late last year - is also to appear on the art-rock band's forthcoming EP, due later in 2020 through Young Poet Records.
"'No Fanfare' is about the feeling of working hard and making sacrifices for little to no reward," explains frontman Nick Tompkins. "When you work hard for a cause, and the effort is not reciprocated by others, it can feel like your efforts are only going as far as to facilitate the laziness of everyone else.
"The opening lines 'I can have a little less so you can live a little better / you can sit and make a mess so I can find a way to tidy up' rounds off the kind of unfair transaction that the song is about. Musically it has a kind of twitching volatility that feels like an outlet for those feelings of frustration."
Youth Sector are due to play The Prince Albert in Brighton on April 2.
