Buxton-based indie rock artist Isaac Neilson has aired visuals for his latest single “Dead Set Dance“.
The song is part of our current playlist and came out last month (Jan 20). Get it here.
Speaking about it, Neilson explained:
“The process of developing this track has been a real journey for me in my growth as a writer and performer. It’s the first time that the idea in my head is close to what’s been put down on tape, and I actually like how I sound on it. Which hasn’t happened before… I feel like it’s genuinely a strong song, it’s got good musicality, has an interesting concept, and isn’t derivative. I feel like I’m starting to find a ‘voice’ with this one.”
Watch the clip below.
Like escaping the crime scene on a unicycle, Isaac Neilson brings all the gusto of a deranged axe murderer haplessly floundering to preserve the integrity of a ming vase on a ski slalom to the indie rock genre.
Isaac Neilson “Dead Set Dance” Lyrics:
You can take it you can leave it
You can dust off all your lace
The bullpen’s bus to Eden
Broke down on the line again
The ceilings peeling down the eyelids
There’s only questions up the stairs
This weekend’s lover’s are a little clear bag
And a rolled up taxi fare
Chorus:
Give me me more give me more
I hear them breaking down the door
Give me more give me more
Till I drop dead on the floor
Give me more give me more
Bottoms up before the war
You know I’ll smash it all to pieces
Cause nobody’s keeping score
Dead set dance
She’s out crying alone
The weekend’s pleasures on display
I’ll take it all
In love with my mistakes
Waster wakey wakey
Still plastered better than this estate
And the bus still isn’t starting
They got locked up and out all night again
The parade displays familiar faces
Drifting out to comedown lane
The vacant expressions share the sentiment
But you know we’ll be coming back this way
Dead set dance
She’s out crying alone
The weekend’s pleasures on display
I’ll take it all
In love with my mistakes
I love what you became
Reborn in my escapes
The guilty conscience always
Seems to be drawn towards the grave
The glass comes down all you could be will drown
Now you adorn the bird in your cage
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Repeat Chorus…
Dead set dance
She’s out crying alone
The weekend’s pleasures on display
I’ll take it all
In love with my mistakes
I love what you became
Reborn in my escapes
