Human Impact have a chilling new single/video entitled “Contact.” Proceeds from the track will be donated to the NYC COVID-19 Emergency Relief fund. Following up on the release of their self-titled debut on Ipecac Recordings this past March, the band reports that “Contact” was written in the early days of the virus before the pandemic had taken a full global effect. The video for the cut features footage from fans showing their current conditions under lockdown. Discussing the single/video in a collective statement, they explain:
“We’d like to write songs about humankind living in harmony and balance with the world, about governments and corporations being of and for the people. But those songs would be narcotic lullabies spitting in the wind of what’s real. We wish this song were wrong. ‘Contact’ was written, recorded and mixed just before the global COVID-19 pandemic hit. Originally written as a response to a feeling of international vulnerability to the spread of disease via air travel, the song’s lyrics proved to be an uneasy and uncanny prediction, foreshadowing our current quarantined reality.”
