DC Gore is part of a rich tradition of distinctly British disrupters, As inspired by the unvarnished portraiture of Martin Parr as he is Ballardian grotesquerie – and by the seedy witticisms of Jarvis Cocker and arch art-pop commentary of Neil Tennant, Gore conjures up what he describes as ‘a very English type of failure’. Following the release of his dancefloor-focused melancholic debut single “California”, “Nietzsche On The Beach” is a sort of satirical fever dream set in the wake of our current populist predicament,” Gore “a tragicomedy” Brexit Britain re-contextualised as a love song.” Continuing to showcase his talent for creating scrupulous and satirical lyrics, “Nietzsche On The Beach” is a richly synth-layered and propulsive dance track, a nod to the songs that might have once filled the coastal dance floors of Britain’s summers past. It was co-produced by DC Gore and Duncan Tootill with additional production by Tom Gillieron and mixed by Alexis Smith (Speedy Wunderground). Alongside the single, the accompanying video features Gore at the beach dressed as a seemingly baffled politician; as the video progresses, his bravado descends into fear and confusion as the world he was promised begins to unravel in front of his eyes. It’s clever, sardonic and serves as the perfect light relief from the current state of UK politics.
