The newly formed duo, Larry Pink The Human, has released a new single today called WASTED DAYS [INBETWEEN]. The track features the British rock band IDLES’ lead vocalist, Joe Talbot. The new release is Larry Pink The Human’s third single release this year for the new project and is the only one that consists of a special feature.
Larry Pink The Human announced it’s formation in April, 2020 and consists of guitarist Laurie Vincent of the punk band Slaves and the renowned producer Joylon Thomas. Thomas is best known for his work producing with the famous Irish band U2 and more recently his work with famed rapper Kendrick Lamar.
After the announcement of their formation, Thomas and Vincent released their debut single Love You, Bye and was followed shortly by their second track Might Delete Later. Both singles received critical acclaim for their soft and nostalgic beats and both were followed with official music videos on YouTube. It is unclear if the duo plans to release a full-length album, or any form of music collection, in the coming year.
On this new track release, WASTED DAYS [INBETWEEN], Larry Pink The Human collaborates with Talbot, currently of the rock band IDLES. IDLES recently released their third studio album Ultra Mono on September 25th, 2020. The indie punk-rock band was met with critical praise after the release of their newest music, for the continuation of their politically-charged and menaingful British sound.
While Larry Pink The Human has yet to schedule live-shows in 2020 or 2021 for their new music, IDLES has announced a UK Tour kicking of in April, 2021. Moreover, Vincent’s band Slaves has not scheduled tour dates for the upcoming year yet either.
Larry Pink The Human has however performed livestream and virtual gigs throughout 2020. The new duo has not performed in person as of yet due to safety concerns surrounding the Covid-19 global pandemic. So, where fans cannot see Slaves, they can catch Vincent on the livestream or order tickets to see Talbot on their 2021 tour.
The new track released today, WASTED DAYS [INBETWEEN], has followed suit with the tracks that came before it, in that it has a soft beat and a meaningful message to remember the ‘magic’ as you live in it.
Larry Pink The Human is Vincent and Thomas’ creative project and among the critical claim Jack Saunders of Radio1 Indie Show said that the new duo has struck something really special with this sound, I mean the melodies are those kind of catchy britpop choruses that made that genre so big in the 90s, but the production just time-travels it through to 2020 to put it out there in its own league.
No current show dates for Larry Pink The Human or Slaves.
