Art Feynman unveils the new single, "Passed Over"

21 August 2023, 16:36 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Art Feynman — the eccentric alter ego of visual artist and producer Luke Temple — presents the new single, “Passed Over,” from his forthcoming album, Be Good The Crazy Boys.

“Passed Over” features a robotic instrumental breakdown and a saxophone performance from Nicole McCabe. Speaking about the track, Art Feynman says, "It can be refreshing to decide to eat last, it’s stressful if you’re always needing to be at the front of the line”.

Until now, Art Feynman has strictly been a solo act, a way for Temple to explore sonic landscapes without the burdens of identity. Be Good The Crazy Boys was recorded live in-studio with a full band. The result captures a spirit of restless anxiety, and recalls the most frenetic work by Talking Heads, or Oingo Boingo at their darkest. "Sonically, I was inspired by records that were recorded at the late Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas such as Grace Jones' Private Life, Lizzy Mercier Descloux's Mambo Nassau, and Talking Heads' Remain in Light," he adds.

Be Good The Crazy Boys is out on 10 November via Western Vinyl.
