Leeds indie rock band L’objectif have returned with their new single “ITSA” and its accompanying video.
The song, produced by frontman Saul Kane and Ali Chant (Yard Act, Dry Cleaning) is out now through Chess Club Records and marks their first new material since last year’s single “The Dance You Sell“. Get it here.
Speaking about it, frontman Saul Kane says: “It’s about moral dilemmas and free will. I just had the chords, and the chorus came about out of nowhere, so lyrically, I just followed the idea of ‘sin’.”
“We wanted this song to feel like a very direct statement as musically it isn’t too complex. It’s all about its delivery and character. Lyrically, it’s about our moral conscience, but also, I think I realised you can just say, ‘Yeah, come on, come on’ for an entire chorus if it works, rather than overcomplicating everything. We shot the video around Leeds as well as in our local pub, which felt fitting as most of the lyrics were written on drunken walks home from there…”

L’objectif “ITSA” Lyrics:
Wow! I just got back into town
And all these people keep staring you down there’s a mixture in my blood
With adrenaline when you’re around
Got a feeling like it’s taken for ages
But i’ll never really pin it down got an angel on my shoulder but i sin, it’s a sin, it’s a
It’s like
You put my face at the front of a billboard staring into emptiness
God i love it
You talk like a poet and you act like a drunk but you could be my patron saint
I got a certain type of feeling
That you’re depending on belief again
Yeah cmon cmon
It’s a sin it’s a sin it’s a yeah cmon cmon
It’s a sin it’s a sin it’s a
I just got back down to earth
Not sure if it’s my home turf
And there’s a mixture in my blood and this time it ain’t love
Got an angel on both shoulders
Or is it just how they’re dressed
Its like you put my face at the back of your daydreams staring into emptiness
Yeah cmon cmon
It’s a sin it’s a sin it’s a yeah cmon cmon
It’s a sin it’s a sin it’s a
I got a certain type of feeling i got a certain type of feeling i got a certain type a feeling yeah yeah
Yeah cmon cmon
It’s a sin it’s a sin it’s a yeah cmon cmon
It’s a sin it’s a sin it’s a
