about

Driving on through a haze of frustration and dark city neon, join us for another slice of ineffable electro pop and sigh at another month of winter: I Don’t Need That.

With cues from the likes of Kraftwerk, Devo and Ladytron, we went with some simple themes and let them spin out and repeat against Doph’s vaguer anxious vocals, waxing and waning both sides to a beat that just don’t let up. So, melancholy - but still not quite surrendering. We are AWESOME, after all.

One for the midnight club run.

lyrics

WORDS
————

Caught at a red light and I’m already late,
I don’t need that,
I turn up early and you’re making me wait,
I don’t need that, I don’t need that,
He tells me we all need a future proof plan,
I don’t need that,
I know already that the future is damned,
I can’t prove that, I don’t need that, I can prove that.

I don’t need that,
I don’t need that,
I can’t prove that,
I don’t need that.

Certainly certain, your assertions are right,
You can’t prove that,
I’m uncertain of your version of our earlier fight,
I don’t need that, I don’t need that,
You say my feelings feel unfaithful and unfeeling,
You can prove that,
But my unfaithful feelings feels that you’re now less appealing,
I don’t that need that, I can prove that, I don’t need that,

I don’t need that,
I can’t prove that,
I don’t need that,
I don’t need that,
I don’t need that,
I don’t need that,
I don’t need that,
I don’t need that.
