Taken from their new EP first time listener, out February 6th via PNKSLM, vegas water taxi returns this week with the brilliantly catchy brat summer. Written about a future Orwellian state based on the modern world, the track's playful lyrics and intricate melodies serve up another delightful taster for what's to come. "I’d recently re-read 1984, and set myself the challenge of trying to write a near future dystopia in a song, particularly in relation to the state of the USA," explains frontman Ben Hambro. "It imagines a world where people who had not participated in the/a brat summer were being rounded up by the police, whilst the only things on the radio are Call Her Daddy and The Joe Rogan Podcast. It ends with the protagonist and Matty Healy setting fire to LA. Easy listening stuff." Take a listen below.
