about
Back of the Truck' captures the delirium brought about through prolonged isolation. The lyrics convey a psychotic kind of apathy; that dizzying feeling when you realise the power you’re wielding with the butt of a lit cigarette. NOCON’s new single swaps the cloud rap leanings from previous single HOAX for a frenetic drum ’n’ bass rhythm, hellish pitched-down vocal samples, the duo's signature skuzzy guitars and a custom "beep" vocal sample from Melbourne electronic artist Purient (Burning Rose Records) that echoes and reverberates throughout the track.
lyrics
With the air-con on
And the windows down
I'm a goddamn clown (I'm a goddamn clown)
Got a cig in my fingers
I could flick out the window
Burn it all to a cinder (burn it all to a cinder)
Got a gas station drink
And the wind in my hair
And no mind left to think! (Think!)
I’m feeling left out
When I scream and shout
No-one ever turns around (no-one ever turns around)
Sitting in the back
Back of the truck
Back of the truck
Can’t hear the conversation up front
Back of the truck
Back of the truck
Hear no conversation
