Track: Do Nothing – ‘Moving Target’
Nottingham four-piece, Do Nothing, return with another clever single that revels in humour and the joy of pointing out what’s wrong in this contemporary social climate. The track is the third tease of what’s to come on their debut album later next month.
What They Said: “I’d say that this one distils some of the album’s more gloomy themes into a nice little song about being tired and run down. It’s also sort of about feeling small in a big world, and wondering how you could possibly relate to it. For the video, I thought it’d be fun to strap a GoPro to myself for a month and see whether the footage could be made into something. I felt weird walking around with it, but I actually quite like watching it back now as a little time capsule thing. During the editing I definitely noticed that smiley positive moments actually made for the best footage, which made me feel nice and uncynical.”
