The Goa Express have our pick of the week’s new tracks with their second single Be My Friend.

Hailing from the northern post-industrial surroundings of Todmorden and Burnley on the outskirts of Manchester in the UK, the band describe their latest track as being about, ‘taking a step away from those who’re always trying to get close to you and as both a shout out to individuality and an acceptance of rejection’.

“It’s a dismissal of the modern world’s hyper-connectivity and a return to privacy, rather than the involvement of everyone knowing everyone’s business all of the time,” the add.

The promo, meanwhile, was self-directed during a lockdown evening spent learning the ropes of video editing – ‘a collection of stupid nights out and just day to day stuff’, they explain.
