Recorded in two days at Parr Street Studios, Liverpool, during the last month of 2020. During the session, Seatbelts were joined by friends Christian Sandford (guitar, BIRD) and Sarah Sands (saxophone, Green Tangerines), expanding Seatbelts’ sound with an interplay of incandescent saxophone and delicate, ephemeral guitar. These new additions give each track depth and texture, building upon the core themes and sounds of last year’s ‘Edwyn’ EP. The group have honed in on their preference for fun-loving, melodic pop music, thought-provoking lyricism, and delightfully varied and vibrant moods.
Throughout the EP, alternating lyricists Madden, Murphy, and Woods, explore ideas of dystopia, automation, mindfulness, and sanctuary. The modern world is a dizzying place, with political leaders making bold decisions to ruthlessly develop and speculate. Tower blocks and soul-less structures dominate cityscapes across the world, and high-capitalism’s mission to advertise and control through technology - offering all the kicks you need at the touch of screen - appears uncompromising. With all this in mind, Seatbelts invite you to welcome simplicity.
