The track follows this year’s earlier release ‘119’
Bristol post-punks Sapphire Blues return with their raucous new single ‘Ourselves Forgotten’. The track follows this year’s earlier release ‘119’.
Drawing inevitable comparisons to hometown pals Idles and upcoming contemporaries Squid, Talk Show and Do Nothing, the trio capture an urgent energy with their observations of Britain in its pre-Brexit purgatory. The throaty wail of Sam Lance Jones steers the track with laser precision, whilst frenetic drums give ‘Ourselves Forgotten’ an immediate, razor’s edge. For a band with their fingers on the political pulse, the song earmarks maintaining hope on a personal level.
“[The track is] inspired by an urge to get away from the memories under the skin of every street,” they explain. “Based off a voice memo Chris (percussion) randomly captured from a drum and bass night we hardly remember, it’s about hanging onto your daydreams as a means of escape from small-town monotony.”
‘Ourselves Forgotten’ is available now.
