King No-One is back with another high energy, well-penned, emotional and eclectic single in the form of ‘I Feel Strange’. The writing dives into the ever relatable feeling of overwhelm on the strangeness of the way the world functions and coming to terms with these emotions. Lead singer Zach Lount delivers an intense performance that captures the sporadic thoughts feeding into the subject matter. Instrumentally, we have forceful, punchy drums, gritty, aggressive guitars and a driving bass line that will all have you jumping out of your seat by the chorus.
On the new single, Zach shares:
“I Feel Strange was written whilst I was at a real crossroad, when I took an abstract view on life – Like why we pay £x a month to live in a concrete cage in a city centre full of others in tiny spaces, or being mugged on your doorstep, or all of a sudden massive corporations have LGBTQ+ branding for a week a year, or oil allowing neoliberalism to construct our society whilst being the death of the natural world… or the fact Neville from Harry Potter became insanely handsome.
Then I just had to think, well – this is the world, this is humanity and I’m here now. I’ll stick around.”
Listen to ‘I Feel Strange':
King No-One roots themselves in philosophy, aiming to find the answers to the questions life throws at them. Hailing from Leeds, singer Zach Lount and guitarist Joe Martin saw a childhood friendship flourish into musical partners, with the duo adding drummer James Basile and bassist Rob Gration to create the four-piece in the years since.
Releasing music since 2015, the band have seen notability across their discography, especially in their two EP’s, 2019’s ‘Out Of My Mind’ and 2023’s ‘The Dead Hotel’. Pop-rock riffs and stadium filling hooks are woven into the band’s sound. This atmosphere only expands when put into a live setting, with King No-One establishing themselves as incredible touring artists with memorable and engaging shows. Dynamic songwriting and performances have led to a significant fanbase, shown through their success in England and Europe in the touring space.
‘I Feel Strange’ is the latest tale to provide an insight into the consciousness of Zach. ‘I Feel Strange’ is about exactly what it suggests; a statement about just that, feeling strange, being strange and haplessly holding on. A hard-hitting rock song featuring a roaring bass riff and a driving drum beat that is destined to be the soundtrack to mosh pits up and down the country. It questions life and death, the fragility of both and the state of the world we find ourselves in.
