SOFT PLAY share video for new single ‘Mirror Muscles’
The release follows the duo’s name change and last year’s comeback single ‘Punk’s Dead’.
The next installment of SOFT PLAY’s anticipated return is here - Laurie and Isaac’s latest track, ‘Mirror Muscles’, is the second taste of what we can expect from their upcoming fourth album, following the release of their huge Robbie Williams-featuring single ‘Punk’s Dead’ last year.
Pulling absolutely no punches, ‘Mirror Muscles’ is a deft flex of the pair’s signature sound, combining hardcore intensity with wryly humorous, observational lyricism. Speaking about the single, the duo have deadpanned: “We love to work out. We frequent the local gymnasium. These are some thoughts we had while we were there”.
What’s more, the pair have now shared a new video to accompany the track, which was filmed at Legends Gym in Haringey. The clip - which sees Isaac and Laurie getting up close and personal with some beefy body-builders - comes directed by their regular collaborator Thomas Davis. Check it out below.
You can read more from SOFT PLAY in our October 2023 interview and listen to ‘Mirror Muscles’ below.
