Toronto rock duo cleopatrick has unveiled ‘PLEASE,’ the first single from their upcoming sophomore album, FAKE MOON, set for release on March 14 via Nowhere Special Recordings/Thirty Tigers.
‘PLEASE’ captures the band’s signature raw energy while exploring the allure of collective belonging. With production helmed by Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker and Hand Habits), the track unfolds with a gradual surrender to the very forces it examines. Driven by a blend of post-rock experimentation and “laptop rock” aesthetics, the song climaxes in a digitally fractured, hypnotic finish.
Discussing the track, guitarist and vocalist Luke Gruntz explains:
“‘PLEASE’ is about the implicit forces that pull us to belong – the comforting and consuming magnetism of the collective. It’s kind of a love song, an acknowledgement, and acceptance of something fundamental. There’s a gradual surrender and slow unraveling in the recording — like the sound itself is subject to the same cosmic pull I’m singing about. By the end of the track, all the instruments are being torn apart digitally. Phil (Weinrobe) had almost the entire mix running through an old Roland 303 sampler that mangled the audio into this beautiful, slushy mess of missing information and usurped data. And so the concept loops back on itself eternally. I like to call this ‘LAPTOP ROCK’.”
‘PLEASE’ is out now. FAKE MOON is set for release on March 14 via Nowhere Special Recordings/Thirty Tigers.
