Max Bloom, formerly of Yuck, has shared details of a new solo album.
'Pedestrian' will arrive on June 18 via Bloom's own label Ultimate Blends and feature the newly unveiled piano-led title track.
Written and recorded during the last 12 coronavirus-ridden months, the record's theme, as well as the new song's lyrical inspiration, comes from observing the outside world and people's behaviour. He said:
"I was contemplating a lot of things when I was trying to come up with the lyrical themes. I listened to this instrumental a lot when I was out running, and I remember seeing the word Pedestrian on a road sign. It made me contemplate what a pedestrian is, and what the word represents.
"As pedestrians, we're all trapped in our own individual worlds but when something cataclysmic happens, we're all brought together. I think about death a lot, and I think about what humans are and whether we are the only intelligent life in the universe. So I guess this song explores both of those feelings at the same time."
Pedestrian is a delicate offering that begins to unfold around an electric piano melody, before synths, trumpet, drums and vocal harmonies gradually join the proceedings.
