Millennium Bugs

This release dives into the absurdity of modern anxieties and the strange comfort found in life’s numerical rhythms. Millennium Bugs plays with the paranoia of Y2K, reframing the late-90s panic as a glitchy fable for a world still held together by legacy code and digital guesswork. Its driving pulse and countdown refrains evoke a system on the brink, while the lyrics mix satire with a knowing wink at our continued reliance on fragile technology. Beneath the humour sits a quiet unease – a reminder that the next digital doomsday may already be ticking.

In contrast, Eight Days a Month turns its focus to the personal, charting a life ruled by eights as dreams, jobs, and ambitions warp around an off-kilter sense of time. The song drifts between nostalgia and resignation, its storytelling steeped in dry wit and gentle melancholy. From school corridors to stalled careers to the strange freedom of retirement, it captures the feeling of slipping out of sync with the pace of the world. Together, these tracks form a release that balances playful exaggeration with earnest reflection, framing our collective glitches – digital and human – with warmth, humour and an affectionate shrug at the chaos.
