Gallus has just announced their debut album, We Don’t Like the People We’ve Become, that’s due for release on June 9, 2023, via Marshall Record’s. The announcement is accompanied by a new single, ‘Eye to Eye,’ which comes with their own video. Speaking about the album, guitarist Eamon Ewin said:
“The album’s title is from Sickness and Health, which best sums up the album’s mood and theme It’s a coming-of-age tale, but with quite a pessimistic spin. Everything gets worse, you get older, then you’re dead… It’s not all doom and self-pity though. We wanted the album to be a cathartic, self-deprecating and uplifting journey, and we hope that we’ve achieved just that. Hopefully we’ve learned how to crack a smile by album 2”.
Speaking about the single, he adds :
“‘Eye To Eye’ was when I grew tired of the constant hoops I had to jump through when in search of a minimum wage job. Company values. Ethos. The cost of your own principles? The lowest wage a multimillion-pound company can get away with paying you. The song tries to express the frustration of having no autonomy or independence in the workplace. Shit work for shit wages, and you’ll do it with a smile”.
