UK Post-Punk Group Spirits In The Pillar Share Bold Lead Single “Singularitarian Rhapsody”

UK post-punk group Spirits in the Pillar released their debut EP Scaled-Down Expectations back in October. From the British quintet’s release is “Singularitarian Rhapsody” – a bold and poetic single that combines robust vernacular with grandiose punk riffs.

Reveals vocalist Iain about the song: “‘Singularitarian Rhapsody’ began with the thought of a snail antenna — in a Keatsian register, the trembling and delicate emblem of intelligence — being replaced by numb scar through repeated defensive withdrawals from the advance of ‘dark enlightenment’ sophistry. Picture the great Romantic poet awaking to the image of a dummy in a midnight cherry Roadster hurtling towards deep space, Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘Whitey on the Moon’ soundtracking off-shore nation formation in accelerated stop-motion, an extreme close-up of Ray Kurzweil in cryosuspension with the Fugazi lyric “I am a patient boy / I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait” tattooed on his brow“.

A steady, hypnotic rhythm serves as the song’s foundation, before the band nod to the ’80s UK post-punk with a roaring and triumphant finish.
