London post punk/punk band Folly Group have returned with their new single “Strange Neighbour” and its accompanying video.
The song is out now via on So Young Records, and is their first new material since the sophomore EP ‘Human and Kind‘, released in March last year. Get your copy here.
Speaking about it vocalist Sean Harper says: “Strange Neighbour walks a couple of related lines at once. Louis’s verses and choruses are an ode to community as it dematerialises. Urban areas become un-neighbourly as spiraling rents force most people our age to move annually, and that’s if they’re lucky. At the same time, when it was being written, we had a sense that some of the music our peers were making came from a sneering, holier-than-thou place, voyeuristically skewing strangers’ perspectives to misrepresent another point of view and make their own more righteous.
“So, “Strange Neighbour” is about recognising your own strangeness and that of your neighbours, because when two people from opposing walks of life meet, who’s normal?”
