Harrison Gordon Share “Not Working! Not Working!” From Upcoming “BLISS” Album

Fresh off the news of their signing to Hopeless Records, Illinois’s Harrison Gordon have announced that their upcoming full length, BLISS, will be released on September 4th, the band have also shared the album’s second single & video, Not Working! Not Working! Harrison Gordon‘s songs are built for catharsis and connection with shout-along anthems and big hooks that feel as communal as they do personal. They turn anxiety, depression, and frustration into something loud, messy, and unifying. It’s music that thrives in motion, whether that be sweaty rooms, blown-out speakers, or crowds screaming every word back to them.

“’Not Working! Not Working!’ was originally written to talk about my old experience working in food service and how I wasted a lot of my youth at a minimum wage job dealing with tons of bullshit. I think now the track is more so about my own relationship to capitalism, especially pursuing the band as my job now. There’s always this push to do more, any time I’m doing something for myself, like working out, seeing friends and family, or engaging in any of my hobbies there’s this creeping sense of dread that I’m falling behind. Being alive is like 500 times more expensive than it was for our parents and most of the people my age I know couldn’t even fathom buying a home. Grindset and side hustle culture has polluted us into thinking we should all be content creators and entrepreneurs. I don’t want that! I don’t want to be a fucking small business owner! I want to put a 6 pack down and rewatch movies I know I don’t like, not ‘hop on a quick call.’”
