Washington, D.C.-based experimental pop band The North County is excited to share their new single “The Invisible Hand Overview” out today. The new song features the complex arrangements, danceable rhythms, and blistering political commentary emblematic of this one-of-a-kind experimental pop band. In their new song “The Invisible Hand” the band is here to remind you there is no reason billionaires should be allowed to exist. Featuring the otherworldly vocal accompaniments from singers Margot Macdonald and Laurel Halsey, who sway between disembodied computers and ethereal priestesses, the band shines a light on the injustice of a world rigged for the 1%. But we can still dance while we think about it.
Today Glide is excited to offer an exclusive premiere of the tune, which is brimming with electro-pop energy with a touch of glam that will bring a smile to the faces of fans of acts like the Talking Heads and David Bowie. Backed by a steady, danceable beat, the song features clever lyricism, colorful harmonies, and a bouncy, funkified sound all while making a statement about injustice. Through this catchy tune, they prove that it’s possible to craft music that jives on the dance floor yet also provides powerful social commentary.
Band leader Andrew Grossman describes the inspiration behind the tune:
“For the first time in human history we have the collective resources to take care of every single person’s basic human needs. To withhold that for the sake of allowing the 1% to horde money, through a system rigged for themselves, should be criminal. This is generally what I was thinking about when I wrote this song. Plus, I wanted to make it slap.”
