Built around a jangly guitar line and a drum pattern that bears a passing resemblance to Fleetwood Mac’s Go Your Own Way, this earworm is a lament about the all-too-human tendency to repeat our own worst mistakes. The verses suggest parallels between individuals’ self-destructive behaviour and the destructive behaviour of society as a whole, as we blunder blindly into the ever-worsening climate crisis.

Life On Repeat

Built around a jangly guitar line and a drum pattern that bears a passing resemblance to Fleetwood Mac’s "Go Your Own Way," this is about the human tendency to repeat our own worst mistakes. The lyrics draw parallels between our self-destructive behaviour as individuals, and the disastrous behaviour of society as a whole, as we blunder blindly into the climate crisis.

Cable Street Collective make rhythm-driven, African-influenced sunshine music that they call Carnival Pop.

With an ear for a catchy tune and a stomping beat, they have been tearing up dance floors and festival stages up and down the country over the last 18 months.

Their music draws on influences like Congolese Soukous and South African Kwela as well as sounds from closer to home such as Primal Scream, the Stone Roses, Major Lazer, the Beta Band, Tune Yards, and the Happy Mondays.
