'The Bends (Here we Go Again)’ is an intense yet stunning opener to the next chapter of The K’s musical journey.
Infused with the classic The K’s sound, ‘The Bends (Here We go Again)’ plays on the feelings that being confused in love brings around, more specifically, being confused by the one you supposedly love.
With a fun, light-hearted beat, punctuated by blissful guitars, it creates an almost therapeutic quality to the song and ensures that you’ll be dancing through the pain of your heartache all night long!
The catchy flow is artfully broken up by Jamie Boyle’s introspective spoken word and Dexter Baker’s growling bass, anchoring the anger that these feelings bring up and provides a layer of comfort and warmth against the treacherous, icy waters of love.
“But I’m glad that I’m alive” is a lyric that especially helps to highlight the overriding message of the song because in spite of the confusing chaos which life throws at you, in the end, it’s truly a wonderful experience.
‘The Bends (Here We go Again’ is a simply scintillating song that deserves to be played on repeat and prepares you for the eagerly anticipated release of The K’s newest album ‘Pretty On The Internet’.
