A contemplative anthem about self worth and modern anxiety

Continuing to defy expectations of Slaves-era fans, Laurie Vincent has once again proved his talent in writing outside his supposed ‘comfort zone’. Working alongside Jolyon Thomas, and with a striking resemblance to recent-era Charlatans tracks, with even the vocal inflections mirroring those of Tim Burgess, the anthemic ‘MIGHT DELETE LATER’ has cherrypicked from the best of new-wave Britpop, adding in some aggrandised electronic sounds and danceable beats to catapult it into 2020. 

Delving deeper into the origins of the track, the duo explain: “‘MIGHT DELETE LATER’ is about a realisation of self. Titled with a common phrase used to buffer people’s true intention. Irony employed to mask a real feeling that you’re too afraid to share. The words are a comment on modern anxiety and the self-consciousness; feeling like you can never quite put your finger on or explain an emotion, feeling inadequate. An attempt to display an insecurity and a fear without perfect clarity. This is something we all experience and have opened up in this song. Love is enough.” Listen below:

This track follows closely in the wake of the introspective ‘LOVE YOU, BYE’ which also stood to challenge the preconceptions about the new collaboration. LARRY PINK THE HUMAN are blazing their own way, irrespective of genre or conventions, and the music is all the more liberated for it. The accompanying video has been hand-drawn by Laurie himself, all during lockdown, further proving that creativity never stops.
