Krooked Tongue,(Oli Rainsford, vocals, bass, Dan Smith,guitar, vocals, Harry Pritchard, drums) have the amazing ability to take sounds and lyrics and construct songs that appeal to both the mind and soul , “Let ‘Em Loose” is not just a captivating song but it also serves as a powerful point for thought provoking discussion.

Recorded and produced with long-time producer Josh Gallop at Stage 2 Studios in Bath, the track uses playful phrasing, scathing sarcasm and sharp humour to cast a penetrating lens on the damaging toll technology is taking on real life relationships.

Describing the single, vocalist and lyricist Oli Rainsford states, “Let ‘Em Loose’ is a song that parallels the technological age we found ourselves in today. We’re all so addicted to screen time that we forget how important it is for us to spend time with each other, really with each other. No distractions.

Let ‘Em Loose’ is a song that reminds us to be a little more present in a world where it seems like being tethered to a plug socket is the norm. Whilst you’re scrolling reels or finding yourself down Youtube rabbit holes all night, you’re missing your kids growing up, you’re missing out on your Grandad’s most compelling stories and you’re eating away at the dwindling hourglass of time. It’s harder now more than ever NOT to be sucked into the world of social media, but in the words of Eddie Abbew… ‘Wake the fuck up.’

Oli continues: The lyrics in the chorus draw inspiration from the Black Mirror episode ‘Metalhead’. I think the way in which technology is represented as these robotic minions hunting people in rural settings is quite a relevant visualisation of the message in ‘Let ‘Em Loose’. Especially now with a sudden push for AI to do everything that’s made us human. Maybe there’s a place for that somewhere, but it shouldn’t be used where it can fragment society more than it already is now. We need to regain our sense of importance. ‘Let ‘Em Loose’ is your warning.”

So drop whatever you have going on and get lost in the musical goodness that is “Let ‘Em Loose” from Krooked Tongue.
