NEWMEN Focus On Climate Change With Hypnotic Single “No Tricks With The Ocean”
German outfit NEWMEN have returned with their first release of 2021 “No Tricks With The Ocean”. Split between Berlin and Frankfurt, the five-piece melt a hypnotic blend of Kraut-rock, psychedelic, electronica, and indie rock, and with “No Tricks With The Ocean”, the group create a dizzying array of sounds and colours for just under seven minutes. The song’s arrangements revolve around a main synthesizer theme and pulsating percussion, creating an artistic commentary on the flux and transience of nature and the climate.
Playfully blurring where the sky meets the land, the new music video adds to their whispered lyrics of “Bingo – what to say when the morning comes / all birds say goodbye, farewell / Bingo – what to say when summer comes / all life says goodbye, farewell”, through glitchy 3D overlaying and sporadic shots of nature.
