The Exact Opposite – Look At Him Go! [Video]
“Look At Him Go!” by The Exact Opposite serves as the opening track of the duo’s upcoming album Skill Issue, and it is such a fantastic taste of what’s in store on the album. (We got treated to an early listening and absolutely loved it!) Asked about the track that surprisingly was the last one that got finished for the album, Jamie Stuart says:
“I remember, that there was a slight false start when I was writing the lyrics to ‘Look At Him Go!’. It was about something different, but then I decided what I wanted it to be about and I’ve never had such a stream of lyrics. I’d never put that many different words into a song before. And I know songs about aging superheroes – which is really about the death of the hero inside you – have been done by other bands, but it was really fun. And if there is an underlying theme to the record, it is aging and wondering if it’s time to call it. But it’s clearly not!”
And Jamie’s bandmate Nigel Powell adds:
“When we finished that song we both just looked at each other and said ‘Fucking hell, this is great!’ There’s just something about it – it’s very hooky, it’s got a great story, I love the lyrics and it just crackles with excitement and energy.”
The British post-punk duo releases their full-length album on May 3rd; mark your calendars and be ready for a treat. Listen to “Look At Him Go!,” our Song Pick of the Day:
