Hot Cops - Origami
They say: I guess feelings of paranoia and social anxiety were what I was basing the song on initially but I'd like to think listeners can apply their own meaning to it…. I wrote it after our ex-guitarist said he wanted us to play heavier, more frenetic guitar songs, similar to Ty Segall and Wavves, and I wanted to do that without taking away from the lyrical aspect of them. The lyrics are interesting because they seem to follow a story while remaining cryptic and even nonsensical sometimes, but there's many different themes and ideas in the imagery provided, that anyone could read into if they wanted to. Carl, Hot Cops.
We say: Featuring the fastest guitars in the history of music*, Hot Cops have proved they’re far from one hit wonders (earlier releasing the awesome 'Kenzie's Farmhouse'). With their frantic, effortlessly cool new recording for the latest 'Scratch My Progress' compilation - this is the sound of a band growing in confidence.
'Origami' is one of the earliest finished Hot Cops songs and they are currently working towards re-mastering and releasing the song with a B-side.
