Following on from the previous EP, I Really Mean It This Time, and a summer of festival appearances alongside UK support dates with The Sophs, Pyncher return with a new single that brings together jagged guitar work and punchy rhythms with their off-kilter melodic sensibility and infectious indie pop edge.
Commenting on the track lead vocalist Sam Blakeley shares: “A couple of years ago I started recording with more drum machines and weird synths. My friend Tasmin (TTSSFU) let me use her Casio that she got for cheap from a charity shop and it became a bit of inspiration for the project.” while admitting “I should probably give it back to her now.”
“It was fun recording the backing vocals, the ‘La La Las’” he admits “I did endless takes trying to make up different characters and voices, which resulted in the sound of a choir of Victorian children.”
Speaking further on the themes, he elaborates: “The Eight Legged Band is about wanting to be someone different and being too afraid to take a leap of faith. There’s a relationship running through it, too, but ultimately, it’s about a wider existential anxiety around growing up, the things you leave unsaid, and whether you’re making the most of the time you’ve got.”
