Why this song is awesome:
The great thing about Tub Ring is that you never have to be in a particular mood to listen to them. They do tons of different genres, but my favourites are always the songs like this which I can’t bloody classify.
Listening to “Seven Exodus” like being in an Asian supermarket. Sure, they carry everything that a normal supermarket does. But they also have that one weird jar of grey mush labeled “Pickled Snake Head Fish” that contains 200% of your daily recommended Vitamin R. You spend a few minutes trying to decide what the hell it is, before realizing the sheer weirdness of it is what makes it fun.
The lyrics are also a pretty interesting and accurate way to describe how we chew up and spit out big media personalities. The song could have been called ‘Perez Hilton’ and it would still make total sense to me.
You came at last, you gave a face to all the media that left us quite aghast / And you filled a void, and your musings filled the broadcast air for all to be enjoyed /Soon we all were moving on/ One last look and you were gone/ Your future may hold many things, but all of us we’re through with you.
