Listen to Boston Manor's powerful new single Algorithm, which hears frontman Henry Cox addressing the enormous pressures that modern artists face…
Following August single Carbon Mono, Boston Manor have just shared another powerful new song: Algorithm.
Detailing its important subject matter, vocalist Henry Cox explains: "In the current media landscape, artists now are expected not only to write and perform music; but also to be media personalities, stylists, photographers, merch companies, streamers, gamers, filmmakers and just about everything in between.

"We’re also expected to produce art – “content” – at such an insane rate that, combined with touring commitments, it leaves us with less and less time to actually focus on the art itself. I wrote Algorithm in response to this – the whole ‘someone else’s clothes’ thing being a reference to the fact that I often feel pressured to be a person I’m not, and that sucks."
