After releasing a string of ace singles – including ‘Where Is My Owner?’ and ‘The Never Never’ – South Londoners Phobophobes have announced their debut album!
‘Miniature World’ is set to be released on 26th January via Ra Ra Rok and the band have also shared the title track! Speaking of the track, the band said: “Miniature World was spawned from long jam over a monotonous old drum machine, we hacked away at it to form a purposefully relentless, repetitive and simple structure that oscillates between the absurd and the familiar.
“We self-referenced the content of the song which questions the productive and reductive nature of modern communication, it acts as an ‘interruption’ within the setting of the album. The way the final chorus climaxes and diminishes into the bands layered vocals rhetorically wailing “miniature world?”, I wanted the chorus’ to advertise the rest of the song, and the song to ironically advertise the rest of the album which is also titled “Miniature world”.”
Phobophobes are set to play their biggest London headline show to date at The 100 Club on 26th March 2018. Tickets are on sale now.
