WORLD NEWS – “DON’T WANT TO KNOW”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
London post-punkers World News share their first single of the year, “Don’t Want To Know” – out via their own label, Pie & Mash. Recorded at RAK Studios in central London and produced by Tommy Bosustow (Muse, Taylor Swift), “Don’t Want To Know” shows off their signature jangly, hook-driven sound contrasted against lyrics delving into themes of struggle, disillusionment, and escapism. Frontman Alex Evans’ striking deep voice pleads to be left alone, wishing to avoid difficult conversations with an inescapable intensity:
“I think when I wrote it, I was definitely in a depressive episode.” Shot and edited by Teddy Hansen, the official video for “Don’t Want To Know” sees Alex go through a frenetic identity crisis as he grapples with his bleak internal monologue. He said,”I wrote the lyrics not long after moving to Brighton; a new chapter that didn’t exactly go to plan. I got fired from a bar job for calling in sick with the flu, and that was kind of the tipping point. I shut down, went full hermit mode, and couldn’t face anyone. The song came out of that headspace—when you’re stuck in a fog of depression, struggling to do even basic tasks and pushing away the people who actually care.”
