New Music: Melodramatic

           

Legendary Scottish band Trashcan Sinatras continue the countdown to their first album in a decade with the release of their new single, "Melodramatic" the song upbeat composition is gently charged with a leading bass line and honey-dripping vocal harmonies, blends with searching lyrical themes. Cautiously feeling his way into exploring self-awareness, anxiety and the complex relationship between mind and body, acerbic frontman and lyricist, Francis Reader draws expansive ideas over the intricate sounds of a band celebrating 40 years together this year, displaying their prowess as one of Scot-pop's pioneering collectives. Reader explains: I was trying to write something about hypochondria but, probably because I was looking at the subject too narrowly, it became a song about solipsism; about the ‘mind and body mystery’ in general. It’s destructive to always be looking inward, always worrying about oneself, measuring meds and moods and the effect you’re having on people. Music video captured by Stephanie Gibson and crafted by How It Is Nowadays
