Today's Song of the Day, as chosen by Kevin Cole, host of Drive Time on KEXP, is "F-16" by Izzy and the Black Trees, a 2024 single on Antena Krzyku.
Polish punk rockers Izzy and The Black Trees tap into some COVID anxiety for today's Song of the Day.
As vocalist Izabela “Izzy” Rekowska explains to music blog Vanadian Avenue: "Back then, I was watching many movies and Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb really got stuck in my head. Plus, there was a constant hum of jet planes flying over our apartment. So, you get the story. The song was recorded with our producer Marcin Bors at his home studio in the mountains. Marcin also produced our second album Revolution Comes In Waves. We really loved working on that album as well as on 'F-16' and our previous single, 'Shutdown City.'"
The band are currently working on a new EP with their sights set on a third full-length in the future.
