New EP \u003ci\u003eFester\u003c\/i\u003e is a literary and disarmingly lyrical collection of art-rock songs laden with ideas and sun-licked beneath the bus smog of anxious skies. Even when leaning into more melodic territory, there’s a pervasive uneasiness that underpins both the vocals and instrumentation. Just as you drift into the relaxing arpeggio flow, vocalist Ned Green’s soft soliloquy accelerates to an exasperated yelp and we’re jolted by discordant noise-rock stabs dragging us into Legss’ deliciously feverish and poetic world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The state51 Conspiracy","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":50486510059851,"sku":"2026378","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e5a3baec-71f5-e165-e25b-4aa1507a4bf3_8d1f2ce2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727610451"},{"product_id":"unreal-2","title":"Unreal","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePivoting around a relentless industrial stomp, ‘909’ is perhaps the most neurotic song about talk-radio ever committed to wax. Ned Green’s first-person character observation slowly descends into madness - the unsettling closing refrain: ‘it’s your views, it’s your calls’ - is indicative of the quartet’s penchant for finding melodrama in the banal.

There’s a 10-minute disco version somewhere. It’s a song that has developed with us and been rewritten at every stage, and now it’s in its final form: a stark, cubist, bass driven day in the life of a nine-to-fiver addicted to radio podcasts.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhilst remaining leftfield in spirit, there is a musical vulnerability to the latest iteration of Legss, and a newfound pop sensibility to their writing, which reflects a move to a more accessible sound. There is a security in inaccessibility, and shedding this cloak opens the band up to an earnestness at once exciting and nerve-wracking. Twinned with their signature world-building aesthetic, the new direction is reflected sonically by drummer Louis Grace, who co-produced the album with Balazs Altsach (Ugly, Katy J Pearson, Broadside Hacks) \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the announcement of their debut album, Unreal, the band say: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Unreal feels like the work of a lifetime.
