Do Nothing announce debut album Snake Sideways and share "Amoeba"

"Amoeba", which premiered with Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 6 Music yesterday, is the first taste of Snake Sideways which was produced by Andy Savours (Black Country New Road, My Bloody Valentine).

Commenting on new single "Amoeba", vocalist Chris Bailey says: “As far as I remember "Amoeba" is about my girlfriend leaving the house to go to work and be useful, and me laying on the sofa feeling dumb and watching annoying news on TV. It muses about how the media decides what we all care about on a two week rotation - sometimes it feels like we all get angry about something for a few weeks until the TV/internet decides it’s time for us to think about something else. It’s also about the fact that making music can often feel pretty unimportant; some folks are firefighters while I spend all my time massaging my own ego.”

The single’s video is directed by Clump Collective who added: “When we first listened to "Amoeba", we felt there was a spooky element to it - old horror movie monsters and prosthetics immediately came to mind. We liked the idea of taking a monster out of its natural habitat and dropping him into a world that he doesn’t quite understand. A lizard man crashing a life drawing class felt like the perfect fit.”
