vegas water taxi detail forthcoming EP, first time listener
East London country slackers vegas water taxi have returned with the announcement of a forthcoming new EP, first time listener, and share the teaser track, "ozempic".
“I’ve always struggled with the way I look, and I probably always will. I’m fascinated by the use of beauty as a currency within society, and how often people will be dishonest about the fact that they will go to great lengths to achieve the leverage that it provides. It’s hilarious and tragic seeing loads of celebrities now all looking identical through the jabs, even though the body positivity movements only just in the rearview mirror. Sometimes it’s extremely valid to be cynical about these things. People are fickle,” explains Ben Hamrbo.
The counterpart to October’s long time caller EP, it completes the two-part project where both EPs will combine as a full length LP, long time caller, first time listener, released the same day on 12 inch vinyl.
Where long time caller focused on the romantic fallout of breakups and social dislocation, first time listener sees frontman Ben Hambro widen his scope, digging deeper to explore what it even means to crave love and authenticity in a world obsessed with image and pop individualism.
Tracklist:
- jamie xx
- ozempic (celebrity weight loss anxiety blues)
- new irish boyfriend
- brat summer
first time listener will be out on 6 February via PNKSLM.
