Demob Happy have shared a brand new single called ‘Be Your Man’.
The hook-laden pop nugget is the first new music from the band’s upcoming second album, the follow-up to their debut ‘Dream Soda’.
“The most important thing has been asking ourselves ‘What are we now?’” says frontman Matt Marcantonio. “A lot has changed since the first album, in our heads and our situations, the things life brings. It was mutate or die… so we reset ourselves and just wrote what felt good.
“We could have compensated by adding more and more to make it bigger and bigger, but that’s a never-ending game of dick wagging tail chasing, and it’s not a game we play, so we did the opposite, and focussed in on harmony and swing, the stuff that excites us.
“It’s like The Beatles found peyote and fuzz pedals instead of acid and sitars. It’s exactly what we wanted it to be.”
It’s very Beatles-y tbh.
