Soft Play drummer Isaac Holman explained this song to NME: "It's about a man in Tunbridge Wells," he said. "I would see him every day, laid out by the Millennium Clock, wasted. The lyric is, 'A carcass rotting in the midday sun.'"
Soft Play are a British two-piece garage rock band from Tunbridge Wells in Kent, formed in 2012 as Slaves, a name they liked because it sounded edgy like The Clash and referenced the "slave to the grind" from their days working menial jobs. Of course, many found the name rather offensive - both members are white. They held firm until 2022, when after returning from a three-year hiatus, they announced the name change, apologizing to "anyone we've offended."
