We've taken a trip back to the classifieds section of the local paper in the 90s with Eyal Pik's latest track, Apocalypse. Male, 30s, rock star icon, seeks blonde sweetheart for the apocalypse. What apocalypse? you might ask. Well, it doesn't take a lot of thought to realise the direction we as humans are headed - look at the corrupt leaders, the imminent future of AI and the fact that we seem to be hurtling chaotically towards some kind of end, either sub-consciously or more alarmingly, consciously. My brain goes in all sorts of directions as the song begins. Blur's 'Parklife', Blondie's 'One Way or Another' and a little bit of The Beatles' 'Taxman' all swirl into a merged bundle here. It's an instant classic; with all those elements of a great rock song that you'd hope for. Heavy guitar, shouty vocals, catchy hooks and an arrangement that keeps the song interesting throughout. I find Eyal Pik himself incredibly interesting; he moved his career from Israel to the UK in 2016 and despite having to start over then face the pandemic, he's come out with some brilliant music in that time, particularly his album 'Mercury Retrograde' which he confidently told me I would love before I first heard it (he wasn't wrong). Apocalypse assertively joins this discography with as much clout as the previous songs, if not more. I look forward to seeing it being performed live sometime, if we can survive until then.
