Wow, the new Sculpture Club visual and single “Cursed or Hexed” is an eargasmic jewel! This song makes me feel 14 again, getting dressed up to go see The Cure for the first time. Chaz’s vocals glide over the bouncy New Wave track that makes me want to kiss the sun! Sculpture Club’s album comes out later this year on Born Loser Records, but for right now peep the new visual below!
When I first wrote these songs I was in a place with music where I was overthinking everything and shooting myself in the foot. It was mid pandemic and all I had was time to analyze everything I had ever done or said or created. So to counteract I tried to turn my brain off or set simple parameters for the music and just try to tap into the feeling. What the songs actually felt like and following that rather than pushing them into what they “should” feel like.
The lyrics came from a joke I was making about myself and all my “impeccable” music tastes and past lives I’ve had. But in doing that I realized how fickle your personality can be at any given moment & how that might be perceived. If that was acceptable, or how much of personality / identity you can “let” bleed into each other. That thought process can really send you into a bad spiral if you let it. You start losing yourself in trying to identify yourself. You really start to feel like you’re Cursed. But ultimately you have to accept it and enjoy it. There’s nothing else you can do. A concept I’m still getting used to.
