PUNCHBAG announce second EP, I Am Obsessed
South London punk-pop sibling duo PUNCHBAG, formed by Clara and Anders Bach, have shared the details of their second EP, I Am Obsessed, and released lead single and title track, "I Am Obsessed".
I Am Obsessed follows PUNCHBAG's debut EP I'm Not Your Punchbag released last May, and will serve as the band's first-ever physical release as a Dinked Early Doors vinyl. Speaking about the track, Clara Bach explains: "It's about being completely obsessed with something or someone, but not in a cute way, more in a 'your whole body is under attack' kinda way. It's sort of disordered, chaotic, overwhelming."
Discussing the upcoming EP, the pair say: "If our first EP was a selfie, these new songs are like zooming in and thinking, 'fucking hell my pores look huge'. This EP is turning up the contrast on everyday life, rinsing the disgusting dish towel so far that all the gunk comes out. It’s pushing PUNCHBAG’s sonic world even further, into a grander landscape, and dramatising the everyday more than ever before."
