Library Card - 'Cognitive Dissonance'

Rotterdam post-punk newcomers Library Card come crashing into our world with new single ‘Cognitive Dissonance’. 

For fans of Sports Team, OSees and Just Mustard - the bands new single is a three minute long assault for the ears - fluctuating between jangly post punk guitars to garage rock. Spearheaded by Lot van Teylingen, whose spoken word alternates between sardonic and sincere in a matter of seconds, Library Card leave room for their respective band members to showcase themselves equally, from Emre Karayalçin’s unorthodox eye-catching rhythms to Kat Kalkman’s driving bass lines and Mitchell Quitz’s seemingly shape-shifting guitar performances.

Speaking on the release of new single "Cognitive Dissonance", the band said:

“Existence itself is erratic and inconsistent, life cannot be lived in a flawless manner. We can try as hard as we want to be compassionate, empathetic and accepting of the things we fear but there will always be a part of us flirting with being selfish, jealous or vengeful. To accept this duality is to accept our own humanity."
