Our editor’s pick of the new tracks which have come in this week is Leeds band Eades‘ latest Reno.
Reno is told from three different perspectives – witness, perp and social commentator – as it regales the story of an individual attempting to break the everyday treadmill by taking the extreme step of committing arson.
“He’s a coked up pub philosopher who’s watched one Chomsky interview, and decides that he understands the arsonist, and has to preach to those nearby about how we’re all ‘slaves to the system, maaaan’,” lyricist Tom O’Reilly says.
“I liked the idea that the character in our song goes on to get shot by Johnny Cash in Reno,” O’Reilly continues.
“At this point in my life my CV looks like an A-Z of all the different 9-5 ruts you can get stuck in, so it’s unsurprising tome that the words and the delivery of Reno quickly fell out of me.”
