Emerging indie outfit President Elect today share their new single ‘Pretence’, lifted from forthcoming EP ‘You’ve Gotta Lot of Nerve Believing in Me’.
President Elect comprising Iggy Waller (vocals and bass), Vincent Barulis (lead guitar), Jude Crook (rhythm guitar), and Zak Waller (drums), follow last month’s release, ‘Drive’, with the anthemic, crowd-pleasing churn of ‘Pretence’, which features vocal interplay with vocalist Holda Sek and co-production from Tayte Nickols.
Billed as the emotional centrepiece on upcoming EP ‘You’ve Gotta Lot of Nerve Believing in Me’, ‘Pretence’ is a hazy, coming-of-age reverie – part mournful, part triumphant. The band share: “‘Pretence’ was written and recorded with our close friend Holda Sek. A song about reflection, past relationships,The song is reflection, past relationships, and the idea that what you thought something would be was better than it actually was. Every inch of this song feels like you’re listening through a coming-of-age film, whether it’s the arguing duet of Iggy and Maddie (Holda Sek), Jude’s haunting 7/4 guitar riff, or the chaos of Zak’s drums in the outro – the song is undeniably a potential young adult breakup anthem.”
Tune in now.
