October And The Eyes unveils EP focus track, "Rubber Gloves"

Following the release of singles "Public Image" and "Til The End", October And The Eyes have unveiled their latest EP, with the focus track "Rubber Gloves".

"This track is inspired by the documentary film ‘Fire of Love’ with further influence from science fiction novels such as JG Ballard’s ‘The Draught’ and William S Burroughs ‘Nova Express’, which I read a lot of during the writing period of this EP," October says. "Lyrically the song introduces you to a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by extreme heat and draught, where seduction is forced to take place behind the confines of silver heat resistant hazmat suits and sex within the sheltered safety of airlocked and pressure-equalised safety pods.”

Speaking further on the EP, she says: "In its most simplistic form the EP is about humanity’s relationship with technology, the information revolution and my own very real fears of a climate induced apocalypse. The bad dreams I used to have about supernatural horrors have increasingly been replaced by nightmares depicting the end of the world. I’m not alone when I say I’m certainly susceptible to a sense of disenchantment - it’s a common feeling of hopelessness that’s felt throughout most people my age. I’m not a scientist or a mathematician or a pol.”

On 24 July, October And The Eyes will play a headline show at The Shacklewell Arms, London.
