    People Like People Like Them EP

    Both songs on the People Like People Like Them EP were a pivotal point in our development as a band. The songs were the first to take shape in a new direction that allowed us to explore our sonic capabilities and open up new possibilities for us creatively.

    This EP represents a venture in to songwriting without the limits and constraints that we had previously placed upon ourselves. Through experimenting with our approach we were able to shape a sound that felt right to us. It was the first time we explored new equipment, new techniques and added previously unused instruments in to the equation.

    The process of taking these two songs from etched ideas in our heads to fully fledged songs became quite a cleansing experience. Not only did the music shape a new direction but it helped shape us and form discipline in us as a unit. It set a template for how we could operate as four individuals in harmony.

    The People Like People Like Them EP became a journey of self discovery for us and a chance to push each other to our limits as musicians, friends and a family united by a shared aim.

    The two songs that form this record saw us take a much more open and adaptive approach with new textures and melodies being tried in the studio for the first time, unsure if they would make it on to the final record. Some of these last minute ideas have changed how we perform these songs live.

    A big part of Last Of Eden was about wanting to create a voice for the unheard. Through the development of The People Like People Like Them EP we were able to discover a chance for us to find our voice as a band.

“ I’M AS MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE”


PEOPLE LIKE PEOPLE LIKE THEM is the first single to be released by Halifax based Post-Rock stand outs, LAST OF EDEN. through Hopeful Tragedy Records. It follows the success of their debut release in December 2019 which was praised by BBC 6 Music, Radio X, BBC Introducing, Discovered Magazine and Soundspehere Magazine.

People Like People Like Them is a reflection of modern society and a window in to frustration and anger. It provides a message of hope and a call to action. It is a voice for the forgotten and a soundtrack for the
unheard. 
 


The track aims to capture the desperation, futility and shift in hope and power felt by anyone driven to despair at the state of the world. It aims to provide a reminder that by standing together we can overcome. We don’t have to take this anymore.


The words that resonate over the music are still as pertinent and relevant today as they ever were. They shine a light on how society exploits disaster, pain and conflict to turn a profit. It shows how far we still have to come as a society and how unjust the world still is.

The world is a scary place but we have a voice - we can stand up and we can be heard. No longer do we have to settle for the mundane. We shall not be overlooked and we will fight for our voices to be heard.


The song title is inspired by a belief that we are unified and connected by shared greatness and that together we are strong.


People Like People Like Them is the first single to be released digitally through Hopeful Tragedy Records.

LAST OF EDEN are....
 


L.O.E’s music tries to capture and reflect triumph, heroism, anguish and struggle throughout society. Not as a political stand, but to hold a mirror up to humanity. Weaving speech and video in to live performance to create a cinematic experience of popular culture and a reflection of our times.

lyrics

People Like People Like Them

I don’t have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad, It’s a depression. Everybody’s out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel’s worth, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter, punks are running wild in the street and there’s nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do and there’s no end to it.

We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat and we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a human being, God damn it! My life has value!'

So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it and stick your head out and yell ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’
