More about: Jockstrap

Clowncore is in and Jockstrap are back with a new track. Pulling back into a gentler sound, Concrete Over Water feels like the duo’s take on a ballad with Georgia’s voice sounding angelic in this strange little lullaby.

Merging strains for mainstream pop, off-kilter electro sounds and classical touches from folk inspirations, it’s hard to pin down the Jockstrap sound. Coming along with a cinematic video, fully realised characters and storytelling lyrics, they’ve got a whole fictional world brewing away as we wait for news on their highly-anticipated debut album.

Talking about the creation of this new track, Georgia Ellery said: “Concrete Over Water was written on a Summer’s night in 2019 in a flat in Farringdon which was above a pub, and above a train line. The place hummed when the trains went under. The video was born out of the celestial themes in the song. Eddie and I created the characters (Moongirl, Voyager, Magma Boy, etc.) to explore the feelings of wonder, inspiration and the search for answers, to reflect what the song represents to me.”

Concrete Over Water is out now via Rough Trade.
