U.K. punk band Penny Rich release new single "Spirals"
U.K. punk group Penny Rich have unveiled their new single "Spirals" today.
An accompanying music video for the song can be seen below. The band said this about the new tune:
“‘Spirals’ is a song about finding futile solutions to life’s upward and downward spirals from the point of view of someone with underlying perfectionism and OCD. It explores the subconscious reflex of reaching for all-encompassing answers to your problems, be it a fad diet, a new routine, etc. Eventually, these solutions all ultimately fail, leaving you back at the bottom, at the start of the next spiral.
This song is very personal to (vocalist/guitarist) Ant, who has long suffered with body dysmorphia stemming from underlying perfectionism and OCD. The song reflects the years of both physical and mental yo-yo’ing, leading to the conclusion that treating these underlying causes is the only way to eventually finding freedom from this never-ending cycle.”
“Spirals” stems from Penny Rich’s forthcoming debut album If Everyone’s An Expert, which will be released on April 14. The 10-track album was recorded with Andrew Sanders at Cardiff’s Kings Road Studio.
Since 2009, MP3s and NPCs owner Terrance Pryor has written about music, conventions, cosplay, and video games for publications such as AXS, Examiner, Fake Walls, and Ranker.
