Oxford Drama Air New Single/Video "Six Feet Under"

Wroclaw, Poland indie / alternative duo Oxford Drama have shared their new single “Six Feet Under” and its accompanying video.

The song, inspired by the acclaimed HBO drama of the same name, is the second taste of their upcoming new album, set to arrive on April. We have previously heard “The Leader”.

Speaking about it, they said:

“Six Feet Under” is a song that chronologically opens the process of writing the fourth album. We wrote it a month after LP3 was released, when we had just a couple of weeks off and decided to do something we’d always planned – watch the iconic series “Six Feet Under.” For weeks, we watched at least one episode every day and got very emotionally involved in the world of Fisher & Sons. I think every person who has watched this masterpiece in its entirety will agree that it’s hard not to sympathize with what the characters of this series are going through.”

The intensity grew from season to season, just as grew our naive conviction that now, even if we don’t know what’s going on with time, at least we know what’s about death, that it can be rationalized SOMEHOW. Two months later there was a strong reality check when our friend suddenly passed away – a person who supported us a lot when WTDWT was created, and who understood our music like no one else. Suddenly it turned out that the loss cannot be tamed. It’s possible to play “London Calling” as loudly as possible without power and suffer the loss.

“Six feet under” is a special song for us. Different from the rest of the album, in the sense that as one of the two it was created as a classical composition, not a joint improvisation. The whole thing, both the chords and the melodic line, was created in 15 minutes, after watching one of the SFU episodes. It’s also a bit of a coincidence and probably would never have happened if it weren’t for me just learning Joni Mitchell’s song “Amelia” on guitar and had it tuned into open gear. I hit the blank strings, and the chord progression and the melodic line wrote for themselves. Thank you Joni Mitchell. They added.
