Our Worth A Listen Track This Week Comes From Bright Orange Spectacle

Bright Orange Spectacle have released their new single ‘I Struggle to Communicate’. The north-London four piece comprised of Charlie Sinclair, George LePage, Kyle Torode and Darcy Calton, burst onto the scene early 2019 with their first single ‘She Could Do Better’. They have have two successful sold out London shows with fans and taste-makers alike eagerly awaiting new material. The self-proclaimed ‘millennium glam’ rockers have been self-producing their tracks since the get-go – taking their DIY ethos from the bedroom to the stage.

‘I Struggle to Communicate’ is a light stomping of precise indie as Bright Orange Spectacle smear a dash of glam rock into their swagger steeped sound. With confident gritty guitar riffs the band announce the track with a raw edge and charming flamboyance. The punchy rhythm shuffles its way through with foot tapping relentless stamina while the smooth catchy melody and charismatic vocals buoyantly dance and cruise along the bubbling backdrop. The band layer the track superbly to create joyful cheery moments of shimmering key hops and pop sensibilities with a Bright Orange Spectacle twist to create a satisfying finger-clicking good number to immerse yourself in.

 On creating the track Charlie added: “We live in a time where everyone has to be a social commentator. It’s not necessarily a bad thing but it leads to a certain amount of pressure for bands to make very grand political statements from day one. I kept sitting down to write that song and eventually this came out.It’s just a lot of honesty about my own lack of understanding towards our correct cultural climate. We live in a time where information is so readily available, yet I still feel like I know nothing. Things are bad, obviously things are bad, but that’s about all I know-and that’s fucking depressing. So ‘I Struggle To Communicate’ is just a reaction to my own ignorance and a personal call to arms for me to better facilitate myself with knowledge.”
