NARC. COMPILATION ALBUM: AMATEUR TREPANNING – MOVING TO A CITY (TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF IT)

Every year to celebrate our birthday, we curate a free compilation album which showcases some of our favourite artists from the last year. We hope you enjoy this year’s selection! Download the album in full for free from our Bandcamp. Here’s a peek at the track from Amateur Trepanning..

Moving To A City is a fascinating song with a hypnotic rhythm and a unique vibe, featuring phone calls and a powerful instrumental. There is a strongly individual feel about the entire song as Amateur Trepanning’s Ben explains. “It’s about my own frustrations regarding perceptions of success. I think it’s also about an unshakeable sense of imposter syndrome people feel in certain situations, and anxieties around developing provincial attitudes as a matter of course. For a song about opportunity, or lack thereof, I think it’s quite positive – there’s an underlying sense that the grass isn’t always greener.”
