The Guru Guru release new music video for ‘Make Less Babies’
THE GURU GURU have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Make less Babies, is taken from the Belgian alt-rock band’s upcoming new album, Make (Less) Babies (the follow-up to 2020’s Point Fingers), which is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Humus Records/ A Tant Rêver Du Roi Records.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, vocalist Tom Adriaenssens says, “imagine you’re suddenly a guru. You’re being asked to speak in front of millions of people, televised worldwide, at a conference for saving the planet. You have 20 minutes to make the PowerPoint presentation. Make it worth our while. Don’t forget about the fact that you’re super crabbed about just becoming a guru and everything.”
I thought of the first version of Make Less Babies when I took my dogs to the park and it was full of trash. Litter pisses me off. Add to that my dogs eat up anything remotely food-like. All I thought of was the tempo and the lyrics. When I’m frustrated, I become sarcastic. This song could be a modern take on the 10 Commandments. A modern Guru doesn’t command anything though—they share suggestions, tips. Suggestions and tips that could help people save the earth and humanity a little, but totally in the wrong order, not covering everything.”
Lots of the words are just saying ‘don’t be a dick’ but more friendly. Since our band is called THE GURU GURU, I felt we needed more guru-like messages providing insights that are—though incomplete and sometimes debatable—helpful to the world. Even though there are many economical objections to be made to the ‘make less babies’ argument, don’t we need a planet to build and sustain that economy on, in whichever shape?”
