MODERN GUILT ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE ‘TALKING TO MYSELF’

Modern Guilt get reflective with new single ‘Talking To Myself’ released digitally on Thursday 30 November 2023.

Championed by the likes of Steve Lamacq (BBC 6Music), John Kennedy (Radio X) and Jess Iszatt (BBC Radio 1 / Introducing), the London based outfit “are re-igniting and modernising their era and genre influences in a strong flame of colour” (Listen To Discover).

As the title suggests, ‘Talking To Myself’ is about the way we talk to ourselves - the internal narrative or narrator. Frontman Jaz adds “the idea behind the song is about acknowledging how savage that dialogue is. It’s a bit of a reflection and a retaliation, it shouldn’t be like this but it is, and whether or not to buy what it’s selling me”.

He continues, “so many people I know have the same situation where the way they perceive themselves is so vastly different to how they are perceived and I believe it’s important that people know that they’re not alone in having this punitive jury sitting in on everything we are and everything we do”.

Produced by long term collaborator Mikey Buckley, the track reflects its narrative in being both direct and versatile, softening out its own jagged edges and bringing bite to the fuller arrangement.

The new single will be accompanied by a short film directed by acclaimed film maker Ross Scott in the lead up to the band’s second EP due to be released in February 2024.

Talking To Myself

I wanna show you God
Sleeping on your floor
I wanna show you things
You ain’t seen before

I don’t wanna stay
But i ain’t ready to go
I wanna tell you things
You already know

Oh I wanna be yours
I wanna be adored

I wanna show you God
In the palm of your hands
Would you say it differently
If I was a different man

The sun it falls
Upon your head
I wanna take you inside darling
I wanna take you to bed

Oh I wanna be yours
I wanna be adored
I want to drink all your honey, when I feel this way
I feel like the last man on Earth when it rains

I wanna show you God
Right behind your eyes
I want you to love me
Don’t look so surprised

I want you, I want you, I want you
(Don’t you want me too?)
I wanna show you, I wanna show you, I wanna show you
(Just what I could do)
I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours
(I could be your man)
I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours

Oh I wanna be yours
I wanna be adored
I want to drink all your honey, when I feel this way
I feel like the last man on Earth when it rains
