Future War Bride - Once I Was A Bird
Debut album Majahua out now, give it a listen!
Once I Was A Bird, perhaps the most modernist flavour of psychedelia offered on Majahua, is the album’s “drug song” - though as befits so sharp a band and so sophisticated a collection of songs, it’s no dippy anthem like you might expect on a psychedelic record. “I wanted to write about the use of drugs in a non-judgemental or dramatic way but not to glorify them, but describe it like buying a ticket for the train or the bus and go for a ride,” explains singer, Mikkel Boström. “Buying drugs is definitely as easy as buying a ticket in Copenhagen. When the song was written, Denmark was on Forbes top 10 list over the happiest nations in the world, (I think we’re #1 this year) which I thought was kind of funny, given that people are using more drugs than ever before. Maybe that’s why we are so happy over here!”
