With shades of LCD Soundsystem and The Human League, this sharp new postpunk single by the London trio fronted by Simon Tyrie focuses on deliberately assuming the worst of someone or something they’ve said or done, something exacerbated by social media. It’s taken from their debut EP On The Wrong Side Of History arrives July 15th via Bad Vibrations.

One look is all that it takes
One word that’s out of place
For each process, another mistake
But I try and I try and I try and I try and I try
You trip me up and I can’t walk straight
You sit me down in a kangaroo court case
I cut my nose to spite my face
And deny and deny and deny and deny and deny
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Je sais bien, mais quand même
We all start out with good intentions
But seek a little attention
Well, it’s hard to make an impression on you
Without spinning the truth
It’s the highest form of art
Sophistry and stagecraft
When you say that you’re happy
iI’s a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie, a lie
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Don’t get me wrong, don’t misconstrue
If you’re the pen, then I am bad news
I’ve memorised Freud and Camus
You’re playing fast and loose with the truth
Don’t get me wrong, don’t misconstrue
You’re painting me but I look just like you
Oh, sympathy, please spare me
To keep the faith you’ve got to move
You’ve gotta move
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Je sais bien, mais quand même
Don’t get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don’t get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don’t get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don’t get me wrong, don't get me wrong
