Today, we debut the epic new single from Emily Breeze, the third from her forthcoming album Rituals, listen to it below.
‘Work’ is a majestic track underscored by the creeping existential dread of modern labour. With elements of the noirish stream of conscious pop of Blackbox Recorder mingling with a widescreen ballad that has echoes of Patti Smith, framed in a shimmering pop string backed epic. It’s the soundtrack to the world gradually falling apart in an absurd state of late capitalism, insurmountable admin, antidepressants and unreachable targets.
The third single from forthcoming Emily Breeze album Rituals is the anthem ‘Work’. The glossy sonic exterior and radio friendly chorus act as a foil for the ice-cold cynicism and pitch black humour of “the lyrics which were inspired by Patrick Batemen (American Psycho) and Emily’s own experiences of hauling herself out of bed every morning to make a pointless profit for somebody else.”
Produced by Bristol luminary Stew Jackson writer, producer for Massive Attack, who has also worked with Tom Waits, Patti Smith and Nick Cave and performed by Emily’s Stellar Band, Rob Norbury (lead guitar), Andy Sutor (drums), Graham Dalzell (bass) and Duncan Fleming (keys/synth).It follows Emily’s first two singles ‘Limousines’ and ‘Ego Death’.
