Gearing up for their upcoming US tour with Don Broco, Sleep On It, Selfish Things and more, UK noisemakers Trash Boat have just debuted a brand new stand-alone single.
Titled “Synthetic Sympathy,” according to frontman Tobi Duncan, Trash Boat’s latest track is all about the tricky balance of human communication.
“When you’re experiencing problems in life that are long term or permanent, it often alters the way in which your friends and family interact with you,” he explains. “Such a prominent thing can become the first port of call for conversation or serve as a platform for people to offer sympathy, as this is really the only thing available.”
"I’m not saying this is bad,” Duncan adds. “I’m fortunate enough to have people I know that love me and know I love them. I think being honest and discussing these things are important. People need support.”
Lastly, the outspoken vocalist commented, “This song is just a source for me to vent about the looming dread of life, perpetuated by a never-ending chain of equally inconsequential conversations, that after so much time and repetition, only serve to remind me that it exists until it doesn’t feel real anymore.”
