Doctrine draw on classical influences to make a pop song that’s a religious experience
Working on a pretty complex conceptual level, Doctrine seek to explore the mundanity of everyday life in the context of a post-fact world.
Following in the wake of previous track "Play", new single “who can say” is an infectious blend of choral and classical influences, with the most modern of production techniques. Somehow, “who can say” invokes an almost religious feel, with its many layers of intertwining voices. A steady kick provides the framework for the hypnotic blend of vocal samples, cut and pasted together into a unique pop track.
"We really wanted to create something we'd never seen before, which had the complexity and beauty of classical choral music but the rhythm, drive and clarity of an indie pop record,” the band explain of the new cut, which is set in an imagined future; one that sees the most sensationalist news of 2017 becoming the norm. Fake news predominates, and facts are a thing of the past. Doctrine’s songwriting follows this narrative to eke out the storylines of emotions and experiences in this dystopian world.
