Following the release of her debut albumSoftly Spokenlast year,Hull’s much-loved spoken word / electro party punkJodie Langfordis back with the fresh new singleDog Vs Bear– a track inspired by an online video Jodie saw of a small dog chasing a black bear out of someone’s house.
With production duties supplied by Jodie’s musical sidekickEndoflevelbaddiewho layers in breakneck drums, throbbing bass & infectious guitar riffs,Dog Vs Bearis a comment on the infuriating behaviour of government officials & their wealthy ‘friends’. For Jodie, it’s a way of coping in this ridiculous world we’re currently living in, by poking fun at people in authority & exposing their flaws. The track’s aimed at those who continue to exploit, harm & kill others as well as those who turn a blind eye to the atrocities unfolding around the globe as they line their pockets with riches.
Jodie comments on the release:“The political climate is terrifying at the moment. What with the genocide in Gaza, far-right & extremist views on the rise, war, women & their reproductive health at risk, TRUMP, a potential recession, minority groups being subjected to unthinkable acts of hate & more. For me, it’s important to release this song now as it captures the rage of how devastating everything is at the moment. Getting my debut album wrapped up & out last year was a good opportunity to take a break from writing for a bit. Now that we’ve had a bit of down time, it feels good to be writing again & tackling these issues that everyone seems to be experiencing”.
