NEW EXPERIENCE

Taken from the EP I’m Irrelevant Now.

Kraut-pop party tunes for the post-truth generation, Guest Singer tackle the presentation of the self and lampoon pseudo-profound social media bullshit, while considering mental health. Wrapped within the arpeggiated decay of vintage synths and a sardonic delivery, Guest Singer realise a vision that is as rich in its melodic geography as it is pointed in its textural delivery. Capable of moments of incredible grandeur, they steer a romantically doomy mentality through a landscape of dusky synth lines and jumpy Will Sergeant-esque guitars. The most unlikely inspiration fell in the form of the QVC shopping channel, which Guest Singer devoured during periods of insomnia. Presenters panicking in real time while attempting to sell items they know little-to-nothing about proved to be an appealing metaphor for public manifestations of self and situation; how we retail different personas to different audiences.
