The Telefone bookend from The Shit EP is here. A visceral takedown of a chronic deceiver delivered in a delightfully memorably tune.
The Shit split EP was conceived when Telefone and Talking with Hands found themselves both working on songs with a shared titular vulgarity. Today, Telefone’s contribution to the split arrives in the form of the lyric video for “Bullshit” – a song inspired by a chronic deceiver that needed to be called on their antics.
What’s particularly fascinating about the track is that despite it being inspired by a specific individual – a stranger to everyone except the band – it’s a song that has universal application to bullshitter’s everywhere. Close your eyes and take in the lyrics, imagine the most egregious bag of hot air individual you know and *viola* the song is now about them. It works alarmingly well.
Turns out there’s a lot of bullshitters in the world and Telefone just happened to capture calling them out on their exhausting essence perfectly.
The video is its own form of delightful BS. I don’t wanna lead the horse to water here but it’s both a companion lyric video and a nod to some other tiresome technology we all hear about on a daily basis.
