London-based outfit CHEST have today shared their brand-new single SO BETTER NOW, taken from their forthcoming EP ‘never really here’, out 27th February. Packed with insatiably catchy melodies and funky arrangements, the track gives an exciting introduction to what lays ahead. Speaking on the release, vocalist and lyricist Joel Reader said: "The song came from two images stuck in my head. A McDonald’s sign on fire in the LA wildfires, an incredibly sardonic image of American excess literally fuelling its own destruction. And the moment after the Trump attempt, his fist raised dripping in vulgarity and violence. The song grew from the feeling those two pictures created together exploring the irony and humour in nihilistic release. Lyrically it is the most outward looking track we’ve released, it’s a commentary on the world rather than self exploration." Take a listen below.
