Gold Spectacles Share New Single ‘Man or Machine’
London-based collaborative multi-instrumentalist, songwriting and producing duo Gold Spectacles have just shared their brand new single Man or Machine, the latest single to be lifted from their new EP, More Heart than Sense, out now!
A tribute to the unsung heroes that hold everyone else together when they themselves are breaking, Man or Machine features scalic analog synths, dynamic guitar parts and a gritty bass that won me over from the start. This is a song about a mother carrying the burden of her family on her shoulders without a single complaint, a true powerhouse. This story is beautifully delivered through lush, smooth vocals which glide effortlessly over the laid-back indie-pop production that sounds perfect for a relaxing weekend at home. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Gold Spectacles said,
This song has had many rewrites over the years. We absolutely loved the melody and ideas for production and knew that subject would come along at the right time. We changed the vocals and switched around multiple times until the lyric came after chatting about a person that is very close to our hearts and how gritty they are. They have this deeply caring nature and desire to make sure everyone is OK even down to organising the small details of others lives, while actually being quite stoic and unemotional about what they themselves have been through. These types of people seem to get all they need to feel fulfilled by serving others. I guess we all need to be a bit more like that sometimes. We came to the conclusion that some people just love to make other people feel like they’ve been wrapped up in a blanket.
