about

New pop sounds for aliens by The Great Dictators // Psychedelic pop from outer space.

’Creep For Life’ is the latest single by Copenhagen-based indie rock trio The Great Dictators.

The genre is electronic pop-rock. “Sonic mindfuckness” according to the band. The song presents a new sound from the Danish princes of melancholy in the shape of spacey synthesizers and distorted samples.
A few inspirations for the single include The Psychedelic Furs, Kraftwerk and one particular film composer. Songwriter Dragut Lugalzagosi on ‘Creep For Life’:

“This song is our humble tribute to Jóhann Jóhannson. His soundcapes are always a big inspiration and also during the recording of ‘Creep For Life’. The lyrics tell a tale of a truly dysfunctional family where love and trust are illusions trying to stab you in the back. Dismal indeed. Some might say that family is a blessing. It can also be a curse for life. The song finishes with a noisy blast resembling a much needed exorcism, so maybe it’s a happy ending.”

The Great Dictators will release a new album ‘One Eye Opener’ April 17th via Celebration Records. It will be their first album in over 3 years since ‘Women’ in 2016.

lyrics

oh sweet ticking flesh
I’m off to cease
the day with a scream
shoved into this
merry slaughter land
as a witness

I’m too drunk to sing for you now
I keep missing my cues
this party is the worst party ever
I see an evil love

I guess I will
never be in your arms

shake, your hands would shake
your kiss would sting
your fist would sing
blood is thick they say
and I might need
bigger veins

I was such a cute little mess
I didn’t ask for this
this party is the worst party ever
I see an evil love

I guess I will
never be in your arms

creep, creep, creep, creep, creep, CREEP

creep for life
and on my knees for old times

I guess I will
never be in your arms
