New single (on cassette tape!) from Swansea Sound - - - "Toxic Energy" is a punk song, a pop song. It’s also a duet between Terry Hall* and Elon Musk. Terry (Hue Williams) still fears for his safety on the streets of the concrete jungle. Elon (Amelia Fletcher) does his best to make Terry’s anxieties worse. The strange sound at the end of the song is a recording of a Tesla Cybertruck accelerating, losing control, and exploding. The single comes on cassette (with digital download code), and is released on 14 Oct 2024. Flip the cassette and hear "Dinosaur Bones" - - - another hit (sans Terry Hall).
This special cassingle is available in extremely limited quantity from Olympia, Washington's premiere cassette label Small Craft Advisory, in honor of Swansea Sound's first tour of the West Coast of the United States of America, October, 2024. Cover art by Jimmy Ulvenes.
*Terry Hall RIP. The Specials’ 1979 track ‘Concrete Jungle’ was a perfect, honest expression of fear of neo-Nazis on the streets of the UK. Terry later became famous in the US as the co-writer of ‘Our Lips Are Sealed’ with Jane Wiedlin. We salute him.
