LARRY PINK THE HUMAN has released their brand new single \u2018PURPOSE BUILT\u2019. The track premiered with Steve Lamacq on BBC 6Music and was followed by a play from Jack Saunders on his Radio 1 show who said the song has a,<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201creally nice\u00a0melancholic touch, but mixed with the pure\u00a0unconditional\u00a0love in the lyrics, it just takes the emotion to a\u00a0whole other level.\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018PURPOSE BUILT\u2019 is a dreamy indie track about being lost in the moment, which features delicate guitars, hypnotic electronics and an anthemic chorus that rises from the subtle musical touches.<\/p>\n

Regarding the single LARRY PINK THE HUMAN say,\u00a0\u201c\u2018PURPOSE BUILT\u2019 is a song about losing yourself in and with another person in the perpetual moment. Occupying that space however romantic or mundane.\u00a0Written in the deepest contentment a song about finding someone who is your home. The world becoming perfect poetry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA contemplative, melodic and sweetly affective number\u201d – DIY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Created during lockdown, the video for the single has been curated by the band in collaboration with photographer and now director George Cory.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe wanted to reflect the imagery that surrounds us, the calm and beauty of the Kent coast is where we spend a lot of our time when we\u2019re together,\u201d\u00a0the band explain.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaurie\u2019s very melancholic pop\u00a0writing\u00a0mixed with the big, vibrant, psychedelic production of Jolyon is an absolute match made in heaven\u201d – Jack Saunders, Radio 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cKiller debut single\u201d – Daily Star<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cGeorge creates these F\u00e9lix Valloton inspired photographs and we felt if they had some movement with video, they\u2019d really encapsulate the feel of the song and our surroundings. Also, with lockdown in full swing the emptiness really felt cinematic and eerily stunning.\u00a0Margate artist\u00a0Rory Strudwick then tied it all\u00a0together with a hand-screen-printed single artwork. It\u2019s a colour study that Rory made, but to us it feels like a sunset, the sea, the sky. It\u2019s awesome!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a really exciting one\u201d -Annie Mac, Radio 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2018PURPOSE BUILT\u2019 is the third song to be released from LARRY PINK THE HUMAN since they emerged this year to huge radio support and critical praise. Their debut single \u2018LOVE YOU, BYE.\u2019 was quick to prove a hit at radio with support from Radio 1 and BBC 6Music. It was also added to the X-Posure evening playlist at Radio X, while receiving press support from the likes of NME, DIY, Dork, Daily Star and more.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s follow-up single \u2018MIGHT DELETE LATER\u2019 built on the impressive first statement with an anthemic new wave brit-pop sound. It has been featured as \u2018Tune Of The Week\u2019 on the Jack Saunders\u2019 Radio 1 Indie Show alongside plays from Annie Mac and Phil Taggart, while Steve Lamacq, Mary Anne Hobbs and Chris Hawkins are big fans at BBC 6Music.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGorgeously crafted bedroom pop songs\u201d – NME<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The ethos of LARRY PINK THE HUMAN is to challenge normal human perceptions, no better demonstrated than with the band members themselves. Jolyon Thomas, whose work as a producer includes such artists as Kendrick Lamar, U2 and Royal Blood, is now stepping out from the studio and onto the stage as a songwriter and performer, while Laurie Vincent \u2013 who as a guitarist forms one half of the band Slaves \u2013 takes the role of lyricist and frontman.<\/p>\n

LARRY PINK THE HUMAN the band are exploring sounds never heard from the pair before. They are proving a constant surprise to fans and quickly solidifying their status in 2020.<\/p>\n
