Weirdo sets the rulebook alight on brilliantly bonkers new single "Attitude"
Weirdo isn't your standard artist - as the name might suggest - and new single "Attitude" cements his leftfield reputation.
This latest one from Weirdo follows "Butter", "Armanio", and viral demo "Disco".
“It’s a more raw, do-it-yourself-whilst-feeling-aggressive-style track” says Weirdo. “'Attitude' is a weird one. When I wrote this, I had just gone through a nasty break-up and I was completely alone. Looking back at it now though, it’s a coming-of-age tale, spurred by emotions, aggression, a bad attitude and not feeling in denial anymore. Now that I’m living between Berlin and the UK, I can totally see the difference in social and cultural acceptances, which I can relate to with 'Attitude'.
"In Berlin, we really don’t give a fuck; it's totally open-minded and free-spirited, whereas in the UK, it’s a complete meltdown of arrogance concurred from being let down by the government. This is an anthem to all people that feel weird right about now in life and let down: keep walking, no-one can stop you.”
It's a brief jam - just over two-and-a-half minutes - but there's a helluva lot crammed in. Jamie T-esque sass and bruising axes cavort with percussion that sounds like a drumkit being chucked down a flight of stairs. There's a quaint pop piano breakdown that tumbles into a haywire noise-rock salvo - imagine Foxy Shazam with less pomp and more grit. This new single angular and beastly and has more ideas than Edison on Adderall.
