Newcomers Phobophobes have announced their debut album, ‘Miniature World’ – and they’ve shared its title-track too, the follow up to breakthrough single ‘Where Is My Owner’.
“’Miniature World’ was spawned from long jam over a monotonous old drum machine, we hacked away at it to form a purposefully relentless, repetitive and simple structure that oscillates between the absurd and the familiar,” they say of the track.
“We self-referenced the content of the song which questions the productive and reductive nature of modern communication, it acts as an ‘interruption’ within the setting of the album.
“The way the final chorus climaxes and diminishes into the bands layered vocals rhetorically wailing “miniature world?”, I wanted the chorus’ to advertise the rest of the song, and the song to ironically advertise the rest of the album which is also titled ‘Miniature World’.”
Their upcoming full-length is due for release on 26th January via Ra Ra Rok, with a London headline show at the 100 Club planned for 26th March.
