With the lyric “what will the US do?” they served up a painfully prescient prediction of American unrest.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFollow-up single \"Burn The Heather\" made a left-hand turn for the more punk-funk, sneering at culture wars and the damaging impact of a class divide.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew single \"Cain’s Heresy\" shakes with the propulsion of a nimble rhythm section, full of bite and scorn, simultaneously swinging angrily at a negligent political class (\"The death of four souls is less than a kick in the teeth, for them\"), the threat of misinformation (\"Poisonous ideals on the screen breed a vicious way of thinking, off the screen\") and the noxious follow-the-leader march of celebrity culture (\"They’re servants to fame\"). The EP title “Silk For The Starving” in itself probes at a society that routinely neglects the needs of the have-nots.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Lounge Society sing about what they know then. Make no mistake, this is the sound of young England: articulate, enraged and energised. And – perhaps crucially - highly danceable too. It should give hope to anyone who has lost faith in the future, because here the future is in safe hands.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Speedy Wunderground","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37816331600028,"sku":"SWP003V","price":10.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/TLS_FULLMOCKUPS.jpg?v=1679924808","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/the-lounge-society-silk-for-the-starving-ep","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
