Modern Age Music Song of the Day: CALM – ‘Is There Anybody Alive Out There?’

South London quintet CALM have presented a double release, both written & produced during the UK coronavirus lockdown. Inspired by the effects of the current pandemic, the tracks are titled ‘Is There Anybody Alive Out There?’ with B-side ‘Something’s Changing’.

The band explain the A-track, ‘Is There Anybody Alive Out There?’ “reflects on feelings of isolation and being cut off from the outside world during the last three months, wondering who and what will be left once things return to some sense of normality. The song is also a message of hope, questioning whether we will make positive changes to the way we live our lives as a result of this unprecedented event.”

The band are noted for their DIY approach, self-producing their releases from member Adam’s house, and have packed a punch the new A-Side; hook-filled vocals and captivating synths creating a Blossoms-esque indie-pop anthem.
