Boston Manor have today revealed the hyperkinetic music video for the first single from their newly-announced third album, GLUE. Everything Is Ordinary“is about how we’re desensitized to all of these major, major problems that exist in the world today,” says vocalist Henry Cox. “We’ve seen literally everything so nothing really strikes us as worrying or scary any more and, essentially, everything is ordinary to us. I was mostly thinking about the environmental crisis when we wrote this but it does apply to a lot of things that are happening right now.”
Everything Is Ordinary sets the tone for an album that’s all about questioning the state of the world around us. Inevitably, in a critical examination of modern constructs, it comes from a dark place but one that fueled the five-piece to create a body of work that elevates their craft further than ever before. During what singer Henry Cox describes as a “very chaotic” process came the 13 highly charged songs that make up this record.
“It’s a lot more abrasive and a weirder record,” says Cox when musing on the sounds comprising ‘GLUE’. “It’s just new territory for us. The whole point was to throw away any preconceived notions of what the band is and push ourselves out of our comfort zone.”
