about

'Your Medal's In The Post' is the brand new EP from art-disco duo Getdown Services, a follow-up to their debut album 'Crisps' released last year. To be honest, it's a a small wonder that between endless festival dates and headline shows, they have found time to record the new EP, a six track excursion that sees the pair experiment with a more measured and introspective approach to songwriting, albeit one still brimming with their incisive wit and sharp ear for production.

‘I’m Not Feeling It’, the first track to be previewed from their new material, is a striking example of this new direction. More maximalist than its art-disco counterparts on ‘Crisps’, its sharp synths and rolling basslines set the stage for a stirring reflection on moments of light within the everyday wreckage of modern life. As lyricist Josh Law says:

“I’m Not Feeling It is about acceptance and about being depressed. It’s about the experience of good things washing over you without imparting any of their goodness. Being aware of things without feeling them. Being grateful but only in an abstract sense. It’s also about the hopefulness that comes from realising your circumstances aren’t necessarily what’s preventing you from feeling better. There is an optimism in accepting the extent to which you are imposing a darkness on the world: it’s not always the world imposing darkness on you. When I’ve been in this state of mind I’ve found that little things are most often the things that cut through. My dad cutting my mum’s toenails as an act of love. My sister being on the Dean’s list at her university. Wreck it Ralph. It’s a tribute to these things that anchor you and penetrate the dull fuzz of poor mental health.”

'Your Medal's In The Post' is out on the 14th November via Breakfast Records.
