Micko & The Mellotronics delve into discreet affairs on their upcoming single “Parked Car” and provide another glimpse at their forthcoming third album, ‘The Trinity’, which arrives 12th June.
Set for release on 31st March, “Parked Car” tells the story of an illicit affair set in the 1970s, taking its name from the vehicle that facilitated it. Keeping one eye on the clock and always making sure to park around the back, frontman Micko Westmoreland follows our protagonists through bad decisions and resulting guilt, his words surrounded by driving guitars and almost ominous soundscapes.
“Many married young,” explains Micko of the inspiration behind the track, “Divorce was taboo and as a result lots of unhappy people resorted to relationships of this kind. The track follows the journey from discreet secret to explicit uncovery. In an affair there are no winners, and the consequences ripple outward, often affecting many. The song examines the shame that comes with being condemned and how the woman so often bears the brunt of the blame.”
Stark, frank and intimate by nature, the new single explores emotional territory that Micko believes is often neglected by many contemporary male writers. Ultimately, “Parked Car’ reflects on the fallout from circumstances when things are simply not right. Executive produced by Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones), the track arrives on 31st March as the fourth single ahead of the band’s new album ‘The Trinity’, which is set for release this summer.
