Exit Kid announce new EP with lead song "Working Stiff"
Exit Kid, the duo made up of Years & Years' Emre Türkmen and drummer Dylan Bell, have announced their new EP Garden, alongside unveiling the heavy lead single "Working Stiff"
"Working Stiff" is the third track to be shared from Exit Kid's new EP, following September's "Bleary Eyed" and March's "Hell In A Handcart".
Türkmen says of their new single, "I wrote "Working Stiff" a few years ago and it has always been one of our favourite songs to play live. The song is about the grind of touring and the detachment that comes with it. Trying to reconnect with people after a long stretch away is always difficult. Like a lot of the earlier songs, it was written in a hotel room in USA. The lyric "I try to find a melody that fits the frame, that holds the key" was about struggling to find the melody and words for this song. I was on the phone to my girlfriend, telling her how uninspired I felt and after hanging up, just sang that line. She (now my wife) still thinks it’s funny. I think it’s meta."
Garden will be the duo's first EP since their self-titled 2017 EP.
