One of the jewels in the crown of their highly-anticipated s/t album, BERRIES drop cut ‘Jagged Routine’ as their latest single from the record.
With the hazy days of summer now a distant memory and the daily grind of work/school an all-too vivid reality, ‘Jagged Routine’ is a song for anyone out there struggling with life’s routines.
As BERRIES say of the track: “It’s about the need for variety, and unpredictability, so that no two days, weeks, months or years are the same. The idea that not having a repetitive schedule, or a rhythm of doing things is generally seen as a negative thing and the song invites you to challenge this notion. It prompts people to reflect on why their way of living is deemed superior to those who take a different approach. It acknowledges that not everyone is the same; while some thrive with structure, others flourish in freedom. It advocates for those people who are told how to live, or why they must live a certain way, when the reality is, it doesn’t work for them. Ultimately, “Jagged Routine” is about the beauty of unpredictability and for some people the most authentic way to live is to embrace the jagged edges of non-routines.”
With a score that veers and lurches with wild abandon, ‘Jagged Routine’s non-conformist sentiments are adeptly complemented by savage riffs and searing solo breaks aplenty. Far from a routine outing for the trio, this electrifying new single is one of the immense highlights of their forthcoming new album BERRIES.
