Berlin post punk/no wave/indie band Plattenbau have released their new single “Best Western“, alongside an accompanying video.
The song features on their upcoming third album ‘Net Prophet‘, which will be out on September 8th through Dedstrange Records. Pre-order it here.
From the band:
“Best Western stumbles into the salon we call “late capitalism” and points its drunken finger at the “virtues” of “progress”. Imagine line-dancing to The Gun Club with sprinklings of a thin, deranged guitar creeping into your conscience. Shareholders can expect record profits this quarter, which is (to quote the track) “No measure of health”. Imagine line-dancing to The Gun Club at McDonald’s during Grimace’s funeral.“
Watch the Lewis Lloyd-directed video below.
