Davey Woodward's band Karen has a terrific new single, "Carrier Bag," on Bandcamp and a new video, too.
The song has an upbeat arrangement with a lyric that undercuts it with a look at the continuing struggles of the underclass: "Unemployed youths in CK T-shirts / Girlfriends with blue hair gasping for a fag / School's a bore and everything's a drag / You either look cool or you end up sad."
The video has a split-screen, lockdown setting with Woodward on guitar, Hugo Morgan on bass, and drummer Tom Adams doing his best Bez impression.
According to the Bandcamp page, "Carrier Bag" is one of ten songs the band recorded for their as-yet-untitled debut album. Karen already released the Filwood Broadway EP in 2018 and Woodward also released the very fine Davey Woodward and the Winter Orphans album that same year.
