<a href="/tags/radio-free-alice">Radio Free Alice</a> return with ‘Kick in the Shins’, a restless post-punk single created by combining the verse from one unfinished song with the chorus from another. Musical recycling has rarely sounded this energetic.
Rattling guitars, quick-witted lyrics and a burst of saxophone give the track a Madchester-influenced momentum designed for jumping rather than thoughtful stationary appreciation. Beneath the movement is a song about feeling confused by the culture surrounding you and isolated by the suspicion that everybody else understands the rules. They do not, of course, but some people possess better facial expressions during meetings.
Produced by Ewan Pearson and Peter Katis, the track arrives while Radio Free Alice continue an extensive European and UK festival run. ‘Kick in the Shins’ captures the band at their most direct: frustrated, danceable and clever enough to turn two incomplete ideas into one song that feels fully awake.
