Black Futures feat. Bobby Gillespie – Me.TV
Black Futures - Me.TV
Release Date: Out Now
Anyone who didn’t pay attention
when LWM named Black Futures the band of the year for 2018 will be ruing that
decision right about now. Why, you ask? Well, the awesome duo are back with new
single ‘Me.TV’ and they’ve brought the legendary Bobby Gillespie along for the
ride. And it’s a hell of a ride as the engines fire in to life with a dirty
bass line, pounding drums and evangelistic vocals repeating the words “turn down
your Me.TV” with something between passion and venom. For the Gillespie guest
slot, we are treated to some Trainspotting meets ‘Sunscreen’ preaching in the
most deadpan Scottish accent to great and brutal impact;
“You say you want to be yourself,
but you don’t really know who you are. You say there’s no such thing as society
but without other people you’d be nothing. You’re still hung up on that
diseased way of thinking – hyper capital zombification, a blunt imagination, a
soul funk of deep proportions, you were born in to eat and it’s all you’ve ever
known. Everybody against everybody else, that’s your mentality. Everybody
against everybody else, that’s your mentality”
Black Futures have the chops to
stand up on a festival bill alongside the likes of Primal Scream, Chemical
Brothers, the Prodigy and Slaves such is their power, honesty and cutting edge
so get onboard for the love of God. I won’t tell you again.
