Mister Goblin – “Holiday World”
Since Two Inch Astronaut went on hiatus a few years back, the band’s frontman Sam has been making music on his own under the name Mister Goblin. His last full-length, Four People In An Elevator And One Of Them Is The Devil, came out last year, and he’s already got another one ready to go. Bunny, which will be out in April, is the project’s first full band album — rounding out the group now are Options’ Seth Engel and Cumbie’s Aaron O’Neill — and today Mister Goblin is sharing Bunny‘s lead single “Holiday World,” a radio-rocky blast of hooks and energy.
“There’s a theme park called Holiday World located in (I kid you not) Santa Claus, Indiana,” Sam Goblin explains in a statement. “It’s basically split up into sections of the park that have different holiday themes. Lyrically the song is about the power of the algorithm being so absolute to the point where it’s impossible to tell what we really like, and relating that to what I imagine the very curated experience of being at Holiday World.”
