The track is the third single from the promising young UK band.
At CLOUT, we have been heavy on the headcage train since the release of their debut single ‘side by side’ earlier in the year, and the release of their third single ‘shrink’ has continued to affirm the potential and explosive appeal of the outfit.
From the track’s groove-laden riffs, to the balance of heaviness and melody that feels delicately poised throughout, headcage feel like a forward thinking alternative outfit that have all of the tools to stand out and succeed in the modern era. Their forthright, often vulnerable lyrics have been a trademark of the outfit, and this has never felt more appropriate than here, as the track details a conversation with a psychiatrist, and lays bare the frustrations and doubts that occur while trying to better yourself. headcage are a band still in their formative years and establishing themselves, but are rapidly laying down the foundations of a killer sound and emphatic appeal.
