PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING - GAGARIN

New album, Bright Magic, releasing September 24th, 2021. Pre-order/pre-save now at ffm.to/psb_bri...
'The Race For Space' is now available on:

Public Service Broadcasting unveil the video for the first single from their upcoming second album, 'The Race For Space'. A brassy, funk-heavy superhero theme song for the most famous man in the world at the time, ‘Gagarin’ reveals a new side to the band - not least their considerable dancing skills.
Once again given access to newly acquired BFI footage, this time of the Soviet space race, PSB’s J. Willgoose, Esq. explained the rationale behind the song: “We didn’t want to be too literal in our interpretation of the material we were given - material that was full of heroic language and a sense of exuberance, with lines like ‘the hero who blazed the trail to the stars’, and ‘the whole world knew him and loved him’. It seemed more appropriate to try and re-create some of that triumphant air with a similarly upbeat song - and when it came to creating the video, the best way we could think of to communicate that sense of joy was to get our dancing shoes on.”
Contains footage from 'Voyage to the Stars', '10 Years In Space', 'Man Remains on Earth', 'Man Returns from Space' & 'Red Moon', all BFI National Archive and used with kind permission

One small dance for man One Massive Banger For Mankind

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

I want this on my country’s flag.

[@ShubhamBhushanCC]

Absolute Banger! The first man in space wasn't an aristocrat, a billionaire, a business tycoon or even a political leader. He was the son of a simple bricklayer.

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

Power to the people!

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

Fuck yes comrade

[@bugjams]

The little “Gagarin!” in the middle and end of the song make such a nice catch. I wish they did that line just a couple more times throughout the song!

[@malarauko]

I don't know if anyone noticed but the dancing was a blend of break dancing but also traditional Cossack soldiers dances with the heel pointing and spins.

[@waffleMccoy]

You're right.

[@shage2595]

There are numerous disciplines involved, including steps from American jazz dances, referencing the US' input into the space-race.

[@Analstrosen]

Mainly locking

[@LaMorenitaDivina]

I didn’t really, but that’s a great observation.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant. Added to my albeit short list of tunes about Yuri Gagarin, that includes; 'Elvis In Space', by Dave Formula; 'The Dignity Of Labour, [Parts 1-4]', by The Human League, and 'Hey Gagarin', by Jean-Michel Jarre. PSB's quality control is still sky high. Can't wait for the new album.

[@kelvinfoote9897]

+Patricia Hobson Yes it's excellent stuff. You may also like The Egg, who do similar stuff- A bit less sample driven with vocals on some of their tracks. Check out 'Ben Hur' ,'Nothing' and 'She's Terrific' to start with. Also the classic 'Give 'em Whisky' by Colourbox is a must for spoken sample lovers. So influential.

[@Wrecekrzepki]

This incredible tension in "The other side" and the passionate energy in "Go!". Such an amazing celebration of human endaevour!

Love the combination of the actual Soviet bombastic over-blown language being brought into a techno-funk musical celebration that is both serious (as in serious music) and also tongue in cheek silliness. It brings the whole fantastic achievement of space travel and the ridiculous national competition of the cold war reality down to earth. Funky.
