Little Big release new single "Pendejo"
Los Angeles-based rave band Little Big have dropped their new single “Pendejo” today.
Little Big’s Ilya Prusikin said this about the new single, which is out on digital services right now:
“Our life turned into TikTok. This track and video are about this TikTok phenomena. People are making bullshit 24/7 and that’s totally ok, because life is rather pointless. Just make fun and do whatever you want to (whatever is legal, of course).
The fact is that we treat life as something fun. We do not believe that life should be lived hard, through some difficult obstacles. Life should be fun, because there is no meaning in life, and the only thing a person can do is to endow his existence with his own meaning.
And we want to endow our lives and listeners with fun so that a person does not live in some morality. In our opinion, it is moralizers who arrange wars and so on. They (moralizers) are trying to endow human life with some super ideas of what needs to be done for us to be great. No, there is nothing like that. We are people, and we want to live this life the way we want, and we want to live this life with fun. And this song is about that. That we can be "Pendejho" and there's nothing wrong with that. People can be dumb and act stupid - nothing is wrong with that. There is no meaning in life - we have fun and wish everyone the same."
An accompanying music video was co-directed by Alina Pasok and Prusikin, who said this about working on the visual:
“We filmed the video for three days - in Los Angeles and Joshua Tree. Those were sweltering days. I (Ilya) almost fainted while filming a scene “dancing on an ellipsoid”. The heat was, in my opinion, 48 degrees Celsius. The scene was filmed in one take because I couldn't take it anymore. Everyone was under awnings, and I was in direct sun. This is the fastest scene in my life, we filmed it for one and a half minutes, and that’s all - the stop, rec is off.
As for the fails, there were none. The team is excellent, assembled of mega-professionals: Russians, Ukrainians, and Americans altogether.
And I will say that in America, we have assembled a team that is on the same level as the team we had in Russia. Only there, it took us ten years to do it, but here we managed to assemble it in half a year."
“Pendejo” is the first single from Little Big’s forthcoming studio album. More information on the release will be unveiled soon.
