733) Little Comets - The Sneeze

With the opening lyrics of its chorus being "Are you ready for the sneeze? Are you ready for the disease to come?", we are sure this early 2019 piece caused some fans of this British band to look at them as prophets. The indie-rock trio's website disproves the pandemic prediction theory, though. It says it is about being "shut down from the noise - overbearing and intense, incessant chat about Brexit and bullshit, which is almost designed to get you to the stage where you just retreat and need a break from it - so they can get on with plucking the turkey". Basically, the track was written as a result of the band members feeling like they are constantly bombarded by overwhelming bad news, which gets you so angry it eventually leads to pessimistic acceptance and passivity. The song starts in a folkier feel, with acoustic guitar strums and speedy percussion sounds, and later becomes more on the alternative and experimental side. The upbeat nature of the tune's production contrasts lead vocalist Robert Coles' exhortation to the listeners and the chaotic outro complements the overall atmosphere. This is definitely a thought-provoking work that emphasizes the group's personality and creative thinking.
