First Day Of Spring has today released their new video and single titled ‘Partyzeit!’. Straight from the mind of Samuel Jones, ‘Partyzeit!’ is one of those quirky tracks that mesmerizes itself into your memory and puts the groove into the pocket and just lets you ride the train into the station.
An anthem for slackers and an ode to kitsch, ‘Partyzeit!’ is a track that brings back the summer if only for a few moments. Retrotastic memories from that era when MTV dictated musical policy and alternative was still the alternative, First Day Of Spring feel like a blast from the past as much as a peek into the future.
About First Day Of Spring & ‘Partyzeit!’
Returning with their first single in over 12 months, London-based project First Day of Spring announce single series Human Flesh, and share intoxicating psych-disco cut ‘Partyzeit!’.
Comprising an ever-shifting live line-up, revolving around the songwriting of London-via-Southend’s Samuel Jones, ‘Partyzeit!’ marks a revitalized new era for the group. With addictive basslines, electro-funk grooves, wailing saxophones and retrograde synths, it’s First Day of Spring, but with the rain clouds parted, and made over in psychedelic day-glo colors.
Featuring a vocal cameo from Rebecca Gillerion of The Plan, ‘Partyzeit!’ is the first of four cuts set to make up Human Flesh, set for completion in 2026.
Offering further insight into the track, Samuel says: “The first Volume from the Human Flesh series is ‘Partyzeit!’, a look at the re-learning process and personal growth that can follow from piecing the blocks back together after lengthy periods being disconnected from ‘keeping it in the day’ and how that disconnect had prevented external action.” Partyzeit! is a representation of that authentic, humbling, energizing and uplifting process. It is an energy I wanted to translate into the music’s aesthetic, an aesthetic that The Plan’s queen, Rebecca Gillerion, helped Fully Realize”.
Following up a brace of EP releases in recent years, the announcement of Human flesh follows a spate of press acclaim from the likes of CLASH, The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland, Far Out, Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, Earmilk and Clunk, as well as radio play from BBC Radio 6Music (Emily Pilbeam) and BBC introducing.
