“Pseudoscience Fiction” the title-track and latest single from singer/songwriter’s Kristian North’s forthcoming album, out May 19th via Mothland. the track features some catchy disco vibes. “As a swarm of locusts/ Usher in the new disease/ My fifteen minutes of celebrity.” Says North

Lyrically, this is Pseudoscience Fiction at its most bleak and unwelcoming, but North giftwraps it in the album’s most inviting and immediate sonic textures. Absent here is the multiplicity of voices and the gaggle of guest musicians that populate the album’s other tracks. The song is through-composed, chorusless, filled with restless movement through indistinct and unsettling atmospheres—a smoky mirror, a red sun smudged, a fallen mist. As verses unfurl, North’s neatly doubled vocal starts to find separation, almost coming unglued, threatening to, but never quite, falling apart.

From Kristian North:

“At some point, I thought it would be the first or last song on the album with this kind of opening or closing credits thing, but it never fit. I noticed it worked opening the album’s B-side, bolstering the album’s non-linear storytelling, hopping around from past to present to future and back.”

“As the title track, this song also serves as a kind of theme song for the record. I was trying for a kitschy disco song, like something that would be on the Warriors soundtrack or something like that”
