mclusky have released a Remy Lamont-directed music video for their new song “as a dad”.
The track appears on the Welsh noise rockers’ forthcoming EP, i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley, which is due out March 20th via Ipecac Recordings. A vinyl edition will follow on May 01st.
Pre-order i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley here.
The band shared the following:
‘as a dad’ is a song about several things.
the first of these several things are men who begin sentences / clauses with ‘as a dad…’. which is fine as long as the sentence / clause bears no relevance to the actual experience of being a dad. occasionally though, the prefix is appropriate (about 1/7). society must bend to this.
the second of the several things is a modern child’s wonder at how much it must despise its male progenitor in the early stages of life. the mother is all. the father can fall down the stairs and die in a puddle of his own slippers, and that’s okay.
the third, and last i can be arsed to list, of the several things, is something to do with the pride of being replaced by your offspring. i look forward to gradually fading into the background (unless i die suddenly in an avalanche) and becoming a grey footnote set against a sofa. when i stop breathing i hope nobody notices for at least an hour – this means that whatever board game is being played at this family gathering i’ve just fantasised is at least competitive (and wasn’t an expensive waste of time and money).
if you happened to catch the new peaky blinders movie this past weekend, you might have heard “people person” on the big screen along side music from nick cave and fontaines d.c., the song is from the band’s 2025 release, the world is still here and so are we. the movie is in cinemas now and on netflix 20th march, and the soundtrack is out now.
