about this song
Inspired by the MP expenses scandal of 2009, lead track ’Burn Your Houses Down’, is a visceral assault on the senses and a revolt against the carefree, nonchalant use of money by those who have plenty of it. “As an artist, there’s a constant worry about money. You struggle to get by in order to make something beautiful”. Lyrically sharp and witty, the song translates into a powerful slice of socio-politically fuelled pop. The track was recorded with a little help Tessa Pollitt of the seminal female post-punk trio The Slits.
