Demob Happy have announced their third studio album Divine Machines, due for release on 26th May 2023 via Liberator Music.
“We wrote Voodoo Science as a bit of chaos – an antidote to banality – a magic potion written to defy the collective stupor of the recent past,” the band explains. “Something to wake you up and shake you up!”
“I really see what’s happening to the human race as a moment in a hero’s journey,” adds frontman Matthew Marcantonio. “We’re at the point in the James Bond film where the villains reveal themselves and tell us the plan. We’ve got Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, these absolute supervillains with their rockets doing whatever the fuck they want, and software guru Bill Gates buying vast swathes of farmland for who knows what. They’re all revealing their plans to humanity and we’re all still going, ‘I hope they’re the good guys!’
“What we need is inspiration to change because we only win this war if the change starts with us. There’s huge ripples of that in society, and it’s distorted through social media, but you can see people becoming more self-aware. That’s what I wanted to write about – inspiring that change.”
Divine Machines is available to pre-order HERE.
