The industry standard method for generating hype in the lead up for a release or what those fatcats will refer to as the first part of a ‘release cycle’ is to break a long period of silence with some mutterings of a brand new single (and/or video) before following up with the single itself. Fergus Miller (more commonly referred to as Bored Nothing) doesn’t seem to attend to these more strategically orchestrated plannings and as a result it can be difficult to know whether his latest soundcloud offering is a demo, some throwaway noodlings or the lead single from his next record. Now I’m ninety-five percent sure this one is the first single of a new record but if not, sorry Fergus and sorry readership but you’ve always known I dealt in feelings rather than facts.

For brevity’s sake I’m going to compress the Bored Nothing timeline for you; He got some Unearthed love and then put out a record with Spunk and toured a bit. The record was really, really good and now here with are with single one (probably) from a new record (probably). It plods forward, the bassline drunk with regret while the twanging guitar sways between either side of the street, equally intoxicated and dampened by the 4am mist. ‘Why Were You Dancing With All Those Guys’ is the type of question and song that encapsulates the dilemmas you’ll find in the latter part of an episode of Freaks & Geeks. You know what, I think that’s as good as it’s going to get; this song is basically an episode of Freaks & Geeks.
