Parrotfish aren’t pulling any punches with their new single ‘4K Friends’, a track with kinetic energy and a fabulously danceable riff. The band plug in, turn up, and call out the modern malaise in all its glowing, screen-lit glory. It’s a track that tackles the growing detachment of the hyper-connected age with a smirk.
Built around propulsive guitars and swaggering vocals, ‘4K Friends’ is a wake-up call disguised as a party anthem. It’s snarky without being cynical, and taps into that creeping unease we all feel scrolling through curated perfection while avoiding real-world interaction. Frontman Conor Lynch’s delivery walks the line between frustration and playfulness; less of a lecture, more of a raised eyebrow. The message is clear: when everything we want can be summoned with a swipe, what’s left to chase in the real world?
‘4K Friends’ stays true to Parrotfish’s genre-blending roots. There’s the grit of alt-rock and the ease of pop groove. It’s confident without being overblown, catchy without being shallow; a testament to the group’s growing mastery of their sound.
As the lead cut from their upcoming EP, ‘4K Friends’ sets the bar high. Parrotfish are here to make noise, ask questions, and maybe, just maybe, get you to step outside once in a while.
