Track Of The Day :: The Goa Express want you to 'Be My Friend'

Words: Charlie Emmett 

Just over a year ago, Little Indie premiered the cracker of a tune, 'The Day', from The Goa Express. The North West champs are back this summer with their new single, 'Be My Friend', that proves equally as vital a jam.

Produced by Ross Orton (Jarvis Cocker, Arctic Monkeys), the track, the five-piece explain, is about “taking a step away from those who’re always trying to get close to you and as both a shout out to individuality and an acceptance of rejection. It’s a dismissal of the modern world's hyper-connectivity and a return to privacy, rather than the involvement of everyone knowing everyone's business all of the time.”

The rousing pop-esque bruiser drops a shed load of fast and furious guitar work across its three-minute duration, that straddles a sonic pot of psych and garage rock, with James Douglas Clarke charging through with the urgent vocal delivery.
