Naked Lungs - 'Database'
Angst, exasperation and indignation are the best three words to sum up the new single from Naked Lungs.
The rage-filled track titled ‘Database’ is truly fueled by emotion. There is not a doubt that Naked Lungs want to exasperate the message of vexation. The lyrics of the piece are passionately shouted with a sense of fervour. This is undoubtedly a song that if you listen to while walking down the street, will make you feel like one hell of a badass.
The drums are the star of the show, their fast-paced and heavy beat are unapologetic. This, paired with the enraged guitar embodies the feeling of the lyricism. ‘Database’ is the second release from the group, both releases show that Naked Lungs are showcasing what they do best; producing rage charged music that empowers and reinvigorates the listener.
