If the classic song “Over The Rainbow” is about the dream of
a better future then what does “Under The Rainbow,” the new single from Shapes
Like People, mean? The first song is a fantasy that doesn’t exist of a wonderful
life with little work needed to achieve one’s goals. “Under The Rainbow" is, on
the other hand, the good life that you and your loved ones make for yourselves,
using what you have, “knocking up a feast from scraps you’ve grown/using all
the things you have around.”
“Under The Rainbow” is the second single (and also the title
track) in advance of next year’s Shapes Like People album and a follow-up to
this year’s Ticking Haze. Described by the band’s Kat and Carl Mann as a “hopelessly
addictive slice of jangly indie pop” there’s also a strong bass line and strummed acoustic guitar building a foundation.
