Collapsing Scenery‘s Don De Vore and Reggie Debris created a political song for the dancefloor with this new single, “Straight World Problems.” It’s basically about taking a reality check and not being overly idealistic. Debris says, “Dreaming of an unattainable, ideal future only leads to misery and disengagement when that future fails to materialize.” The song concerns “the awful frequency with which new regimes and new systems mimic the worst qualities of those they replace.” While the content may be a bit heavy, musically the guys use their favorite analog gadgets to create a dizzying, fun club track, making it easy to dance away your political anxieties.

The single will be released on May 18, accompanied with remixes concocted by Oliver, Tom Of England, Chris Holmes, Certain Creatures, and Henri.
