KIGH drop funky final single from their new album: “It makes me feel f*cking amazing when I hear it”
Watch the video for Kids In Glass Houses’ new single Have A Good Time – one of the band’s “most ambitious songs sonically”, taken from upcoming album Pink Flamingo.
Kids In Glass Houses have just released a new single that’ll undoubtedly brighten up your day.
Entitled Have A Good Time, this new track is the final preview from next month’s Pink Flamingo LP, and as frontman Aled Phillips explains of the Prince-inspired banger, it’s “about the absurdity and misadventures of modern life and how sometimes you just have to find the humour and joy in it all.
“It’s my favourite song on the album and it leans quite heavily on the music that inspired us growing up,” he continues. “It’s definitely one of our most ambitious songs sonically and there was a real sense of freedom and energy in the studio when we were making it that I think you can hear on the recording. Capturing feelings and vibes was something that was super important on this album and I think this typifies that. It just makes me feel fucking amazing whenever I hear it. I’m frankly gassed that we wrote something that people can strut through ASDA car park to.”
Aled also does a whole lot of top-notch strutting himself in the accompanying video, sharing that it was “inspired by growing up in the Valleys and going to all these Labour and rugby clubs and holidaying at caravan parks. You’d have all these insane lounge singers and talent contests with people giving it the beans like it was Live Aid and I loved that. We shot it in about two hours flat so it was definitely the quickest video we’ve ever done but also the most fun we’ve ever had on a video set. For all their protestations beforehand, I think the band all outted themselves as frustrated frontmen and I’m here for that energy.”
