Premiere: Todd Dorigo – ‘Backdrop To Boredom’

A hymn to escapism...

As Andy Warhol once observed: "There's only one good thing about a small town… it makes you want to get out."

With that aphorism in mind, it's perhaps easy to locate the energy within Todd Dorigo, the lust towards escapism.

Brought up in the humble Northern town of Middlewich, the rising songwriter knew that he wanted to experience new things, to see the bright lights.

Now based in London, his live shows are a blizzard of infectious hooks and bubbling confidence.

New single 'Backdrop To Boredom' emerges on July 1st via 0E0E, and it's a blistering salute to the power of the road out of town.

All biting riffs and empowered, impassioned vocals, you can check it out below.
