Today sees the release of “Consolation”, the new single and video from South Africa’s Caution Boy. Taken from their new full length album Alligator, their 10th full length release but first as a trio.
More info about “Consolation”
“Consolation” is an alternative dance punk rock homage to the Covid-19 pandemic. From how the powers that be capitalized on the weak, to the individuals who were too stubborn to take precautions, to the internal & external struggles that go hand in hand with isolation.
Andi Cappo comments on the new single
“Consolation is a mirror held up to society, reflecting the reality of the pandemic generation. This is laced with glorified glimpses of the good times before & hopefully the good times to come, symbolized by karaoke, which is almost like a traditional pass time across the globe. This also symbolizes the transition for Caution Boy, which started as a solo project, performed as as 1 man “karaoke from hell” to a full band.”
You can watch the video for the track below:
“Consolation” is definitely one of my favourite tracks on Caution Boy‘s Alligator album. It actually makes me want to get up and dance. South African Rock is in a lekker place right now thanks to these Pretoria boytjies. I’m curious to see how they will shape the rock music landscape with the tunes that they’re going to be releasing in the future.
