“Emo never dies, it just starts paying rent,” say UFO Go. “’Way Back When’ is a song about the mid-20s angst of coming to terms with who you are, and the death of the ego that makes your teen years and early-20s feel so apocalyptic.”
“We learn to let go and forgive ourselves of the mistakes we made learning to be people, in the hope that we might go to bed one day and not remember the day we called our teacher mum, or the time we told a joke that made somebody cry.”
Since the release of their first full-length LP, 2018’s nottoogoodthanks, UFO Go have amassed over 50 thousand streams on Spotify alone.
“The video imagines a classic 60s/70s movie car chase, ala Bullitt, though what if cars were people too?” the band say on the music video for Way Back When. “We hired some big strong men from the Melbourne Actors Facebook group to carry us around all day, and I don’t think one of them read the treatment before the day of the shoot – ‘you want me to do WHAT?’”
They’re set to drop Way Back When at their single launch at The Workers Club on November 26. “We’ve developed a set that delivers the experience of the album with interstitial tracks that expand on the themes of the songs, with spoken word segments written alongside the lyrics of the album, and a programmed lighting show to match.”
