Mekons – You’re Not Singing Anymore: 13th Floor New Song Of The Day
Following their highly praised 2022 album, Exquisite, legendary postmodern, post punk, post human, past caring collective Mekons join Fire Records with new music set for release in 2025. Out today, you can listen to new single, You’re Not Singing Anymore, released alongside their newly announced extensive tour across the U.S, U.K and Europe next year.
Here is the blurb with more:
‘You’re Not Singing Anymore’ with its every-person bravado and reels with violin as it unfurls an unreliable story of the modern world’s hazy recollections of the past.
Mekons: “We were recording in Valencia, where General Franco drove democracy into the sea and somehow it was agreed that the horror must never be mentioned again.”
It’s a sad story spun out on a melancholy melody with Mekons’ acidic wit to the fore, bringing to mind the much recounted but often misappropriated phrase, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
Almost 50 years in the making, these Mekons continue to tug at our thoughts and reasoning; they entertain and challenge, leaving us to wonder, at every turn, just what the hell are we doing and how did we get here.
The Mekons are Jon Langford, Sally Timms, Tom Greenhalgh, Dave Trumfio, Susie Honeyman, Rico Bell, Steve Goulding and Lu Edmonds.
