Sat in cramped, air conditioned cubicles staring at a screen for endless hours, life passing by behind the blinds. It's a subject most know all too well, and something which is fuelling Race Horses new single.
'My Year Abroad' is a typically sharp blast of pop music, shot through with a satirical wit worthy of Jarvis Cocker. Out on September 3rd, Race Horses open with thudding, post-punk style bass before giving way to icy synths.
There's a dose of Soft Cell here, an art school tradition being resurrected. Following a businessman's trip to Tokyo, singer Meilyr Jones explains that he wanted “the grim reality, not the glamorisation of excess, using things and people, cheap thrills.”
