Two-Man Giant Squid, the rising indie/post-punk sensation hailing from Brooklyn, NY, is back with a bang, ready to make waves once again in the music scene. Following their successful debut album which garnered widespread acclaim, the band is set to release their newest single, "I was a DJ in 2015," a quirky yet profound exploration of the EDM boom of the 2010s.
The track, laden with both punky and danceable elements, serves as a tongue-in-cheek homage to a time when it seemed like everyone you knew suddenly became a DJ. Frontman Mitch Vinokur, drawing from his own experiences as a DJ prior to forming the band, injects the song with a delightful blend of wit and nostalgia, capturing the essence of a polarizing era in music culture.
Accompanying the single is a visually captivating music video, which humorously depicts DJs attending a "DJs Anonymous" meeting, grappling with their "traumatic DJ past." It's a clever narrative that adds depth to the already engaging track, offering fans a multi-dimensional experience that is quintessentially Two-Man Giant Squid.
