The Travelling Band, a British indie Americana ensemble, makes a triumphant return from a five-year hiatus with their latest release, Super 8 Surrender. Crafted in just one day as part of the ‘Revolve:R’ multidisciplinary art project commission, the song’s inspiration came from singer Jo Dudderidge presenting various images to the band members, using their responses as the lyrical foundation. Drawing influence from William S. Burroughs’ ‘Cut-Up’ technique (also employed by David Bowie) and the ‘Rorschach’ psychology test, the track boasts a dominant alternative pop-rock sound, enriched with progressive rock nuances and a gentle americana flavor.
If you’re in search of powerful vocals, poignant lyrics, and a dose of Britpop goodness, give this one a spin.
