Building on the success of his previous singles, Leeds luminary Spielmann has unveiled the plans for an upcoming debut EP Fifteen Minutes With Spielmann, out May 31 through EMI North/Launchpad+ (Nadine Shah, Bored At My Grandmas House, Van Houten).
The lead single from it is “10,000 Hours”, an anthemic piece with amusing lyrical remarks, layered over the exuberant sounds of drum machines, synthesizers, and glistening guitars. Speaking more on the song, Spielmann offers:
“I’ve been knocking around this idea of writing a song about doing a podcast for a while. I find the idea of normal blokes doing podcasts quite amusing, there’s an arrogance in thinking people are so interested in what you have to say about craft beer that they’d actively choose to listen to it, which, as another normal bloke, writing songs that you think people want to listen to, the irony of that comment isn’t lost on me”.
Moreover, the artist is releasing an EP in a quite unique way — on the side of a coffee bag. Collaborating with the North Star Coffee Roasters based in Leeds, Fifteen Minutes With Spielmann can be accessed via a download code found on the coffee bag.
