"'Nice Work' has no deep meaning, just a bunch of cool sentences with pop culture references and a bit of braggadocio stuff about being a cool guy.
A lot of this was written as I was recording it, which is my favourite way to make music. The lyrics really wrote themselves, I could go on forever with that formula.
Me and my housemate Sam Hall (who made the Flawless film clip) made a clip for this in lockdown, a few sessions getting drunk and dancing around the house with my other housemate Kingu Pouf."

internet warrior
i don my cloak of anonymity
a troll hunter but the troll is me
prettiest cat fish in the sea
one stop drug shop
analogue to synthesized yeah
oregano oil to ritalin
moonshine to methamphetamine
my innanet avatar
is swimming in a pool of bitcoin
backstroking in the crypto
scrooge mcducking it to diplo
it's a good song sing along
a singaling a song a big song
i got it synced on the new king kong
and now it errybody ringtone
my pockets drip gold
it got what jingle what fold
it's nice work if you can get (away with) it
going once - sold
everything must go
it's nice work if you can get (away with) it
full cringe power simp
until i fully disconnected
I'm zombie jesus resurrected
and if it weren't for you meddling voters I'd be elected
nicolas cage fighter
huffing on a bag of dino bones
becoming turgid in designer clothes
hanging 'round your favorite liner notes
I'm my own boss I'm old
you woosies do what you're told
it's nice work if you can get (away with) it
my style unfaulted
taking everything unbolted
it's nice work if you can get (away with) it
swing a sock full of gold
ice cold
it's nice work if you can get (away with) it
my name in lights in bold
too thick to hold
it's nice work if you can get (away with) it
This was not what I expected! I thought this was a pop group (first time hearing this band) but I had to eat my hat because this band defies genre. The vocalist reminds me a little of kpop (and maybe 2010 Sleigh Bells if that makes sense), I happen to like both so thought that was cool. If you are a fan of complex piano layers and brass check this out! Also, the bassist and drummer are insane in here. I choked hearing one of the riffs it was that good! nvan92
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
