Unleashing a Captivating Mod Rock Anthem with a Twist
Channeling the Mighty Boosh
Frontman Luke Spiller reveals that the inspiration for the new single came from an unexpected source – the beloved British comedy series "The Mighty Boosh." As Spiller explains, "By the time the choruses were written for the song, it reminded me of The Mighty Boosh episode 'Jungle.' There's a scene where these 'Mod Wolves' show up and dance to this song that really had the same vibe to it. I was a big Boosh fan growing up – still am – and that was enough for me to know it was great."The track's infectious energy and mod-rock sensibilities are a nod to the band's British roots, while the comedic influence adds a delightful twist to the overall sound. Spiller's lyrical escapades, which he has experienced firsthand, further contribute to the song's lighthearted and relatable nature.Embracing a New Era with a Timeless Approach
The Struts have always been known for their ability to blend timeless rock elements with a contemporary flair, and "Can't Stop Talking" is no exception. As Spiller explains, "Arriving into the studio that day, I really wanted to try something that the band had never done before. It was very off the cuff, and everyone in the room was laughing a lot. Sometimes that's a great sign."The track's unique blend of mod-inspired rock and comedic undertones showcases the band's willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of their sound. Spiller emphasizes the importance of enjoying the creative process, stating, "What's the point in not enjoying the process? I think that's why we can get away with a song that is beautifully bizarre. It's because I actually mean the lyrics, even if they do come across light-hearted. Believe me. I lived through that character in the song many times."Cementing Their Reputation as Timeless Trendsetters
The Struts have been captivating audiences since their inception, with their US certified-Platinum anthem "Could Have Been Me" hitting the Top 5 on US radio charts and introducing the world to their triumphant, timeless rock sound. The release of "Can't Stop Talking" further cements the band's reputation as both timeless and trendsetting, as they continue to push the boundaries of their craft.The new single showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend diverse influences, from mod-rock to comedic inspiration, to create a truly unique and captivating listening experience. With their unwavering commitment to artistic expression and their ability to connect with audiences on a deeper level, The Struts are poised to solidify their status as one of the most exciting and innovative rock acts of the modern era.
