“New Boyfriend” by Lynks

Lynks has returned with new single & video “NEW BOYFRIEND” – a twisted, queer lovechild of LCD Soundsystem, Metronomy and Confidence Man.

The track struts into your headphones like a Scissor Sister on shrooms. An irresistible four on the floor beat meets a swaggering nu-disco bassline, while crunching guitars, distorted drum fills and plucked analog synths wrestle for the spotlight. It follows “USE IT OR LOSE IT”, which fueled Lynks’ ascent to new heights.

Speaking on the track Lynks Says: “Look, ultimately I think I’m a fairly smart, reasonable, logical young person. I’ve done therapy. I give excellent dating advice. I know that a healthy breakup is a clean breakup. No footnotes, no P.S., no post-credits sequence shags. And yet the second I’m in the throes of a breakup, all that logic and intelligence evaporates. And I become what I clearly always was; a dog, cosplaying as a well adjusted human man. Unable to resist the stick when someone says “FETCH”. I’m not proud of it. But I also don’t think I’m alone. That’s what this song is about; lovely, kind, thoughtful, intelligent, well-adjusted couples turning into chaotic horny monsters the second they break up.”
