On the song Felines, the UK pop duo Gold Spectacles create an immersive ambiance that launches us headfirst into a feeling that permeates every area of modern society today, as they vividly capture a thought-provoking issue of getting a raw deal in life. The conscious lyrics are relatable, and the vocal melody beautifully sets the stage for the uptempo chorus and poignant theme.

The idea behind Felines is a nod to the tale of Robert Johnson falling to his knees at the crossroads, looking for an exit, and in desperation, making a deal with a stranger that will change his life forever. Greatness in exchange for a great debt. These days, we’ve all felt part of the machine; as if we’re doing all the labour to save fat cats in high places lifting a finger. Safe to say, if we were given the same contract, same terms, on those same crossroads, we’d probably sign it. Whatever the cost.

Felines is the first track from the duo’s upcoming EP.
