The Orielles have shared their infectious new single 'I Only Bought It For The Bottle'.
The band are based in Halifax, and channel the dance-able end of post-punk – think ESG, Bush Tetras – through a very 2017-centric DIY approach.
New cut 'I Only Bought It For The Bottle' is wonderfully odd, with the tripped out guitar effects given a slightly brittle overtone.
The elastic bass sits against drums that threaten to implode at any minute, before giving way to a deliriously infectious chorus.
The Orielles explain: "The track is loosely based upon Nicolas Winding Refn film The Neon Demon as it talks about the idea of how beauty has become a currency and that we no longer desire substance, yet seek things based on appearance and face value. The microcosm of this idea comes through the lyrics which explain a story of how the subject bought a bottle because it looked really nice and tasty but actually it tasted like shit."
