Nrvs Return With Dystopian New Single & Video “Scum”

A new season, a new feeling and Nrvs are back with their inimitable take on humanity’s downward spiral into a dysfunctional entropic existence! Having left us spellbound with their take on the one dimensional aspect of online relationships with I Like You, and then questioning our individual motivations for creating a new version of ourselves on Breeders, the anonymous galactic trio now come with Scum, the next offering in their episodic upcoming sci-fi EP, I Like You, that is due out early summer. Scum is the third song from Nrvs‘ upcoming EP, that was co-produced by the band at the Off License studios in South London,

With its abrasive minimalist post-punk feel along with Velvets inspired grunge guitar, this latest song (& the first they ever wrote) sees band member Ten Pence proclaiming deeply about his place in the world and the seeming futility behind trying to make a difference. As with their previous singles, Scum continues with the sci-fi visuals from London director Grain Freeze who this time is joined by 3D artist Matt Bateman who brings his animation skills to the party. Scum is the third film in the saga following an astronaut on a journey to the edge of the universe. In this episode she falls into a computer system & finds herself turned into an avatar in a 3-dimensional world. Is this a sci-fi simulation? Has the alien planet found a better way to talk to her?

“So what about Scum? We’re all scum, we’re the future of the human race and we’re fucked, as Extinction Rebellion used to say when they were cool – and we love it, or at least we seem to! Us lot just happen to be feeling it at the moment cos we happen to be alive now, so we’re the toppest layer of the pond… scum, get it?”
