A joyous and celebratory song, it came quietly loaded with antagonism for the increasingly prominent, ignorant, factions that have come to litter modern conversation. As Brian Molko commented at the time, “If the song serves to irritate the squares and the uptight, so gleefully be it.” As great masters in cataloguing the human condition, Placebo’s unique way of examining both its flaws and beauty finds fertile ground in 2021. Crawling out of the pandemic into a landscape of intolerance, division, tech-saturation and imminent eco-catastrophe, theirs is a voice that has rarely felt more significant to contemporary discourse, and more appropriate to sing these stories to the world. Within the magnetic slow-burn of new track ‘Surrounded By Spies’ no punches are pulled in confronting the erosion of civil liberties, as Brian Molko’s deft lyrical delivery is married to a creeping sense of claustrophobia that fittingly makes the walls feel as though they are closing in from all around. Brian Molko comments: “I began writing the lyrics when I discovered my neighbors were spying on me on behalf of parties with a nefarious agenda. I then began to ponder the countless ways in which our privacy has been eroded and stolen since the introduction of worldwide CCTV cameras that now employ racist facial recognition technologies; the rise of the internet and the cellphone, which has turned practically every user into a paparazzo and spectators in their own lives, and how we have mostly all offered up personal information to enormous multinationals whose sole intent is to exploit us. I used the cut-up technique invented by William S Burroughs and popularized in modern song by David Bowie. It’s a true story told through a lens of paranoia, complete disgust for modern society’s values and the deification of surveillance capitalism. The narrator is at the end of their tether, hopeless and afraid, completely at odds with our newfound progress and the god of money.” Artist Placebo Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label So Recordings Buying Options 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Forever Chemicals Beautiful James Hugz Happy Birthday In The Sky The Prodigal Surrounded By Spies Try Better Next Time Sad White Reggae Twin Demons Chemtrails This Is What You Wanted Went Missing Fix Yourself Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Placebo View Product Quick View Placebo Loud Like Love Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Loud Like Love £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711048 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Battle For The Sun Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Battle For The Sun £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711047 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Meds Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Meds £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711046 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Sleeping With Ghosts Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Sleeping With Ghosts £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711045 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Black Market Music Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Black Market Music £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711044 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Without You I’m Nothing Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Without You I’m Nothing £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711043 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Placebo Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Elevator Lady Limited | 1LP Released 31st May 2019 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Placebo £14.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Elevator Lady Limited SKU: 6711042 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Placebo Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st September 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Placebo £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1093 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Ball Of Eyes Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st September 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Ball Of Eyes £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1091 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo 1973 Jazz | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st September 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo 1973 £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1092 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Placebo Start again More from Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Matt's picks View Product Quick View David Bazan Curse Your Branches Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Barsuk | 1LP Released 22nd April 2022 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Bazan Curse Your Branches £25.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Barsuk SKU: LPBARK083 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 22nd April 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jello Biafra And The Guantanamo School Of Medicine Tea Party Revenge Porn Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Alternative Tentacles | 1LP Released 18th June 2021 £20.00 -
