Strange Company release new music video for ‘Do You Feel Numb?’

STRANGE COMPANY have released a new music video!

The South Wales alternative rock outfit have unveiled Do You Feel Numb?, their latest standalone single. The new track explores themes of self-doubt, emotional avoidance and the struggle to become the person you want to be. The new single was recorded and mixed by Timothy Vincent at Woodcroft Audio.

Speaking about the new single, frontman Matt Davies shares, Do You Feel Numb? is built around a line I still find hard to say out loud: ‘I’m scared I’m turning into everything I’ve been running from.’ Spend long enough avoiding your fears and you end up giving them all your focus anyway. The person I want to become is scary too, because of everything I’d have to overcome to get there. The song is also about chasing numbness like it’s the finish line, only to get there and find nothing waiting for you. The pain stops, but so does everything else, and what’s left just feels hollow.

DYFN? almost didn’t survive. It started as an 80s pop-rock demo and got shelved, only getting a second chance when we all sat down together to make the decision to delete it forever but saw something special there. As we tore it apart and rebuilt it, our guitarist, Owen said something that stuck with me: the song doesn’t belong to us, we’re working in service of it. From there we dropped everything we thought we knew about the song and put weeks of work into writing it the way it deserved to be written. That’s what it took to turn it into the punchy, bleakly honest emo rager it is today.”
