Welsh rock band Mclusky releases their first album in two decades titled 'The World Is Still Here and So Are We' on May 9 via Ipecac. They offer a single, "Way of the Exploding Dickhead," which includes satirical elements reflecting modern music culture, inspired by both video games and contemporary events. The 2023 single marks a significant moment following a long hiatus, during which band members were involved in various side projects. Mclusky, known for their sharp rock influences, promises a refreshed sound with new tracks.
Andrew Falkous says of the song, "With a title modeled on/ripped off a formative video game ('the way of the exploding fist' on the zx spectrum), and lyrics inspired by the huge excitement caused by the surge pricing on tickets to see a band play well in the distance, 'way of the exploding dickhead' is a modern parable, without the parable bit."
After two decades of side projects and pseudo-reunions, the revered Welsh rock trio Mclusky have finally recorded a new album-their first in 20 years.
The final album of Mclusky's first phase was 2004's The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire. After that, they released the great compilation Mcluskyism and finally split.
A press release bills "Way of the Exploding Dickhead" as part of a two-song single with "Unpopular Parts of a Pig," which featured on another double-A side single, with "The Digger You Deep," in 2023.
