Portsmouth force Hallan have shared their dynamic new single 'Sich Übergeben'.
Out now, it follows a series of seismic, biting shows from the group, melding post-punk tropes with something vivid and personal.
'Sich Übergeben' – "to vomit" – is a rejection of our Jubilee-led British mundanity, with Hallan instead aiming for something more visceral.
The raw jagged synth line permeates your cranium, while the half-spoken vocals pierce the national psyche.
A tale of excessive alcohol and family strife, the lyrics weave a narrative that is oh-so-familiar.
The band comment…
“A father hiding behind a screen, a family watching the Queen’s jubilee and a wife leaving her unloving husband for a new life in Spain. We’ve seen all of these people and we know them too.”
Sich Übergeben (translating to “to vomit”) deals with our British tendencies to spew forth from our gullets, unloading our ill-informed and rather unwanted opinions onto others, the interwebs and beyond. From our living room thrones we strategize and glamourise, acting upon misinformation through hypocritical means. It’s not too long before spewing becomes physical, and suddenly a father figure spews from his plane upon the foreign sunnyland soil, covering the precious ground in British vomit, clutching a pint in one hand and his health-card in the other. His alien son looks on. ‘Who is this man and who is my father?’”
Tune in now.
