about

"We Need" is a jubilant if sometimes distressed electro track from producer/writer/performer Jacknife Lee and his Irish compatriot, the pseudo-vocalist and cultural janitor Cathal Coughlan. It's prone to bouts of jubilation, evoking a networked bacchanal wherein the population of the formerly developed world leaps through imaginary space and time, to repeat its mistakes for one more glorious round.

The song "We Need" is about corrosive nostalgia, the tricks it plays, and the manner in which it propagates regret and sqeamishness, until literally all that's left is the little island of today - leaving nothing old or venerable at all. Just red herrings & figments.

It hymns the rush to get back to full-on Roaring 20's hedonism, just as soon as the bills and memorial cards of 2020/21 can be shredded and send to landfill. This is a process underwritten by the spectre of the self-assured male, who knows how to do his duty, no matter how gruesome that may be. Once that duty is done, all collateral damage to family, nation or species is forgotten.
