Dinosaur Pile-Up have premiered a new song titled “Sick Of Being Down.” This track is from the band’s new album “I’ve Felt Better,” which will be released on August 22.
Matt Bigland commented:
“‘Sick Of Being Down’ is essentially a post-traumatic existential breakdown articulated as a 3-minute garage punk rock song. Trying to readjust myself to life after hospital was a really confusing journey. I felt conflicted about myself. What I liked and what I didn’t. What I was, what I wasn’t. All my priorities had changed; my ‘place’ in the world felt different, and that was a jarring feeling to navigate. I was experimenting with weed again to see if I could balance my mental state a little better, and one day, I was wondering if I was in a cycle of kind of self-fulfilling cause and effect; I’m sick of being down when I’m high, cos I’m high when I’m sick of being down.”
He also added the following about the lyric video:
“I wanted the lyric video to be something surreal. The narrative of the song and the footage aren’t linked, but somehow create something new when forced together. It took a minute to find a piece of footage that worked, but in the end, I think we ended up with something really cool and kinda weird! It suits the song for me now.”
