Delivery release new music video for ‘Poor-To-Middling Moneymaking’
DELIVERY have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Poor-To-Middling Moneymaking, is taken from the Melbourne garage punks’ upcoming debut album Forever Giving Handshakes, which is scheduled to be released in May this year via Anti-Fade/ Spoilsport / Feel It Records.
Speaking about the new song, singer James Lynch explains, “A funny thing about Poor To Middling is that you can kinda hear us trialling out a bunch of different ideas for what the band might sound like – straight rhythmic ideas and then constantly shifting chord progressions, shouty vocals crossed with more melodic hooks, weird time signatures and plenty of random quirks that we never got rid of. We released a demo version of this track before we’d even fully committed to starting a new band – I guess releasing it ended up being a bit of a confidence boost though because DELIVERY’s dynamic didn’t change too much from there. It is funny thinking back that we were probably just throwing stuff at the wall to see what would stick, and in the end, the majority of it somehow stuck, ha-ha!”
“I’m not a very grumpy person, but maybe the turbo music made me want to rant a bit because I say a whole lot of shit in this song,” Lynch adds. “It’s a bit confusing and contradictory, but I like that – it’s equally about how I think it’s sorta stupid to view creativity as some kind of magic thing that happens without any genuine effort, but it’s also about how someone’s creativity can sorta be dredged in the name of business. I guess neither are really that evil – I just think making things can be cool, and sometimes that’s all it needs to be. But then again, money is also good… and the contradictions continue.”
