Regressive Left
Luton trio Regressive Left announce debut EP, On The Wrong Side Of History due 15th July and share new single Bad Faith featuring vocal contribution from Manchester's experimental-pop act Mandy, Indiana.
Recorded over five days with producer Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, MIA, Amyl and The Sniffers) in Sheffield, Regressive Left’s debut EP On The Wrong Side of History takes aim at the infuriating, bleak political climate, and the urge to find escapism from it which front-man Simon Tyrie comments “Before we started working with Ross, we spent two hours on a call with him putting the world to rights, Even though he lives up the other end of the country, we felt we had more in common with him than any London producers that wanted to work with us. He understood the project and what we were about, and that was really important to us.”
On the themes of the the first track to be shared from the forthcoming EP Tyrie explains: “This song essentially focuses on the idea of deliberately assuming the worst of someone or something they’ve said or done. Social media has really amplified this trend: everyone has to have a take. So we read between the lines and make wild accusations on the faintest of evidence. It’s something of an art, but one that I think is ultimately detrimental to society.”
