The Imbeciles Release ‘Yes I Am’ Single & Announce New EP

Following their eponymously named debut album in 2019, art punks The Imbeciles return October 30th with a new self-released six-track EP titled “Dissolution Sessions“, that features a new band line up, and a different sound. ‘Yes I Am‘ is the first taste of the new EP, one note leads and guitar scrapes, with off-beat stabs and a pop punk drum track that pulls the whole together. And the overall vibe of the EP is a NSFW hybrid of 1979 London punk, with second guitar stolen from eighties Echo and Bunnymen and a leavening of Bauhaus art rock.

We’ve slimmed down from a meandering, vegan, six-member prog rock combo, to a tight-knit, guitar-led, steak-eating 4-piece. The guitar sound is fuzzy punk beast-master AF, and we like it. The music is still weird; but everything just gets to the point faster, you can hear that energy in Yes I Am; it’s the sound of a band having fun being creative again after a difficult year. The video for Yes I Am is what you get when a band has too many ideas, no grownups, and zero clue how to actually make a music video. A gigantic helium filled Pink Floyd style inflatable pig (thank you obscure China inflatable balloon company!) competes for the viewers attention with a vintage 1960’s Ford Escort, rallied (badly) round a field in pursuit of various band members on Honda dirt bikes. At one point a random Druid turns up, as if by druidy magic, to bless a stone circle, which itself makes a five-thousand-year-old guest turn. There’s a drone (of course). And fireworks (why not?). And a 70-foot-tall scaffolding tower hidden in some trees.
