Following the release of their acclaimed last year’s EP Human And Kind, London’s Folly Group return with the brand new single “Strange Neighbour”, a shapeshifting and groovy earworm that showcases the band’s raw energy and powerful message.
Sean Harper from the band shared the following about a new song:
“Strange Neighbour walks a couple of related lines at once. Louis’s verses and choruses are an ode to community as it dematerialises. Urban areas become un-neighbourly as spiraling rents force most people our age to move annually, and that’s if they’re lucky. At the same time, when it was being written, we had a sense that some of the music our peers were making came from a sneering, holier-than-thou place, voyeuristically skewing strangers’ perspectives to misrepresent another point of view and make their own more righteous.
So, “Strange Neighbour” is about recognising your own strangeness and that of your neighbours, because when two people from opposing walks of life meet, who’s normal?”.
It is out with the bonkers and cool music video, directed and produced by CLUMP Collective.
