The first single from Bottler's debut album creates an equally immersive and evasive wall of sound for the listener. Perfectly calibrated for motorised escapades in the open air at full speed, the duo summons in less than 3 minutes the unabashed electro- pop proficiency of Hot Chip and the visceral, groovy irreverence of Todd Terje.
The track finds the band crashing into mortality and ageing artistically, with not much more to say than "you're old, you're gonna die”. Lyrically blunt and finite, “You're Old" is a vitaminised snap-shot of everything the band loves: serious themes and tongue-in- cheek lyrics, synth explosions and pop emotions.
They say: "You're Old is the oldest track on the album, originally made for our two debut EP's. Put against a bubbly, dreamy house electro house track, the song utilises a technique present in our writing for as we've been writing songs: dark, tongue-in-cheek lyrics set against a fun, poppy track."
