about

Control is the second single from Imperial Broads' sophomore album, Counterpart which is scheduled for release on September 24th, 2021. The track is masterfully produced by Liam Judson, and is a disorienting and sometimes uplifting sonic exploration of the chaos of friendship.

lyrics

You’re bored to tears, and I’ve got so many ideas, but I know,
You don’t want to hear it.
I know you don’t want to hear it.
My teenaged countenance is shattered by such confidence.
And I’m nobody’s sister.
I’m nobody's little sister.

Well, Rimbaud talks of idle youth, I wonder if that bothers you.
And Burroughs, with his crazy dreams, finds silence at the core of things,
But, you don’t want to hear it and I’m nobody's little sister, ah oh.

I heard about a great new nightclub,
Where they play all the songs we ever loved.
If you find your way, you know,
you know I’ll be here to stay.
Coz it’s the start of a new thing,
And it took all my strength just to ring.
But the future shines bright in the middle of the night.

Are you impressed, you see, I’ve gotten myself dressed,
And there’s someone here to see me,
Oh yeah, someone wants to see me.
I never had the words you want; a poor romantic dilettante,
Who never learnt to say no,
No I never learnt to say no.

Well Rimbaud made the world stand still, I wonder if that bothers you,
And Burroughs knew control could never lead to anything you need,
But you don’t want to hear it and there’s somebody here to see me, ah oh.

about

Imperial Broads image

Imperial Broads Sydney, Australia

A noisy, deranged, pop explosion led by three singer-songwriters making a delightfully raucous and melodic sound. Starting out with ambitious ideas of making harmony-packed punk music, the band has developed into the strange but catchy combo of distortion and groove created by Pip Smith, Eve Lande and Lauren Crew.

The bands sound is gleefully completed by drummer, Nick Kennedy and producer Liam. ... more
