Memes Return With New Single “Second Thought”

Glasgow’s self-proclaimed “laptop-rock” duo Memes are back with the chaotic new single, Second Thought. Never a band afraid to think outside the box, their latest cut finds them embracing those most dangerous of thoughts we all have ticking away at the back of the mind. Reevaluating everything from relationships to career choices, Second Thought flickers relentlessly through our thoughts, from the epiphanous to the ridiculous, with a machine-gun like intensity. Second Thought arrives as the latest sample of an upcoming EP that will be released later this year.

Coupling an erratic agit-punk electricity to a boiling-point bassline, in Second Thought the duo add to their arsenal an anti-anthem as tempestuous as a tantrum; as paranoid as it is unpredictable. Delving into the new single, Memes’ John McLinden says: “I’ve often wondered what people are really thinking when I talk to them. Behind the mask and the measured words. So, I started imagining these cartoon conversations where involuntary thought bubbles would appear above people’s heads as they spoke, betraying what they truly thought. That’s what gave birth to the song”.
