Get Inuit have premiered their Barbiturates single as headline dates in Aldershot, London and Southampton approach this month before a stint supporting Spring King in February.
Frontman Jamie Glass wanted to, ‘write a song that could contain a theatrical contrast of ferocious guitars and silence. Skin-crawling screams and pitiful whispers’ when coming up with this track.
“I used the subject matter of drug reliance as a metaphor for the inner battle people have when trying to suppress rage, whether it be from a chemical addiction or just stress,” he continues. “I felt that the majority of songs I was listening to focused on one emotion and stretched out that feeling over the course of a song.”
“It felt much more human to show inner conflict and mood changes rather than just pretend I’m only ever content, or in love, or depressed. I can be all of those things within the space of a minute.”
