The artist draws all of the emotion out of his 2022 single with this powerful stripped back version.
Foreign Television is an artist that thrives when he gets to be at his most raw and authentic, and an acoustic version of his 2022 track ‘Vending Machine’ provides the artist with the perfect platform to do just that, highlighting the nuance and thought that goes into his lyrics and delivery.
The softer side to the track brings a renewed sense of poignance and gravity to the lyrics, with Francis extracting every bit of emotion out of a narrative about feeling powerless and depressed. The energy and emotion of the sound is something that will resonate with many listeners, many of us have worked in horrible dead end jobs, been treated in a way that we felt was unfair, and often not really had the means or opportunity to walk away or demand change. ‘Vending Machine’ is a track that channels these feeling into something that feels cathartic and real, and makes for a really engaging listen.
