The Drones New Single & Clip ‘To Think That I Once Loved You’

The Drones
The Drones’ new single ‘To Think That I Once Loved You’ is a stark contrast to their political spew jam ‘Taman Shud’. It is the second single and video from their seventh studio album, recorded in the summer of 2014/2015 at Tropical Fuck Storm Studios in Melbourne Australia with Aaron Cupples.

Feelin Kinda Free is a bad trip you can dance to. It’s a punch in the brain summed up by the first line of the album’s opener Private Execution: “The best songs are like bad dreams”. It is not like other music. It is not your stock jock “modern” retro rehash, rather an avant avalanche of everything coming back to haunt you.

Lyrically it steers clear of the same old tropes peddled by anything you’ll hear anywhere today.

It explores themes such as koro syndrome, the fruits of western imperialism, ISIS, celebrity chefs, seaside statecraft, beach-bum race riots, Rupert Murdoch, the new middle eastern/european diaspora, the spectre of neofascism, Hugo Boss, Luftwaffe psychological warfare techniques, girls, sweet revenge, capitalist consumer psychosis, body image dysmorphia/mania, Gertrude Bell, eating people and selling yourself, having great skin, leftist utopianism, scientific triumphalism, E.T. and the mindless assumption that alien lifeforms would be nicer than us simply because of their technological superiority.

Feelin Kinda Free is available in store and digitally from March 18th via TFS Records and MGM Distribution Pre Order from thedrones.com.au now
