ELON

ALT POP COLLECTIVE NEON GRU
RELEASE SINGLE ‘ELON’

Release date - 22nd November 2022

Alt-pop collective Neon Gru release captivating new single Elon, a mutli-dimension-travelling track that explores major paradoxes between human tech advancement and the mistreatment of the planet. On Elon, the band oscillates through a myriad of musical styles born out of a series of intense, feeling-led collaborative jam sessions that take place over a number of days when the globally-placed musicians find a rare time to be in one room at the same time. Accompanying the new single is a video that captures Neon Gru members in pocket sized puppet form - a psychedelic masterpiece produced by the Bristol based Glasswell Productions.

On the track, the band say:

“Elon is about how people are in search of an easy answer or way out of our planet’s damage. So we seek to go to a new planet for a bit of fun and a party.. and when thats all over, what holds us? We realise what we have on earth is special and we gotta look after it.”

LYRIC VIDEO

He said he's got the love
The time and humanity
To build anything you want
To go anywhere you need
I said I need to know
The secrets from other seas
Cos this world is getting old
And sick from identity

We wanna feel the pull
Of a different gravity
Space man will lead us there
Just give him your hopes and dreams
I wanna be the one
Floating away from here
Take me away from here


Mmm, it's time to dance and this girl wants to play
Everyone else is so far away (so far away, so yesterday)
Boy, what you're giving me is chemically insane, yeah
Your interstellar hold on me makes us move in symmetry


He said he knows a way
To save all the birds and bees
'Cos plastic has gone and won
Its fight with the dirty seas
You just need to send me cash
Or digital currency
It's just like the Noah's ark
Of 2019

We want to get away to a different galaxy
Spaceman don't leave us here
Don't just take the elite
I wanna be the one
Lost in the atmosphere
Take me away from here


Mmm, it's time to dance and this girl wants to play
Everyone else is just so far away (so far away, so yesterday)
Boy, what you're giving me is chemically insane
Your interstellar hold on me makes us move in symmetry

Mmm, and a symmetry, huh, that this girl's got to taste (this girl's got to taste)
Everything else is just so far away (so far away, so yesterday)
Do you ever wonder if we will fly back home again
Your peaceful electricity makes me insane


[He was like, what the f*ck is happening, I leave these guys alone for 3 minutes, they start f*cking mumbling over the track? What a bunch of f*cking weirdos. I love you.]
