When The Prodigy announce that a new album is forthcoming, we need to listen. “The Day Is My Enemy” is slated to drop on March 30, and just recently the first single off of it, “Nasty,” was released with a bizarre video to boot (one of their signature moves).
Some of us remember sitting up late at night watching MTV (you know, when the M meant Music) and catching a glimpse of The Prodigy’s frontman Keith Flint bark at us about starting fires with his now-iconic double-hawk hair and his counter-part known only as Maxim glaring at us with cat-eye contacts. It was this country’s first real journey into the popularizing of the underground electronic scene that was bustling across the pond. Since, The Prodigy has been on top of their game as some of the most important pioneers in the genre.
So when they announce that a new album is forthcoming, we need to listen. “The Day Is My Enemy” is slated to drop on March 30, and just recently the first single off of it, “Nasty,” was released with a bizarre video to boot (one of their signature moves).
The group also recently got together with The Guardian about the new album, their lives in the current culture and what they really think about the EDM scene as it stands.
“Dance music at the moment is so fucking dead,” member Liam Howlett told the news outlet. “Producers are too safe, they rely on being retro. It’s fucking bollocks. There’s no pushing forward any more.”
Let’s hope for our sake the entire album hits just as hard as this single. The world needs it.
