York, UK-based two-piece, Proxy Love are Nathaniel Foley and Benjamin Ramscar are here with their debut glam-infected indie anthem, ‘Oh My Love (Look At The Mess We’ve Made)’, which takes its classic cues from the decadence of Lou Reed, and the bombastic flair of The Doors. Both Nathaniel and Ben are ex-members of garage rock threesome, The Goodnight Ladies, and this sees the pair take their wired ad colourful musical minds on a whole new, more expositional and diverse journey.
Of the track and its inspirations, Nathanial comments: “This was the first song written after the break-up of my previous band. I’d been watching grainy footage of Bowie performing on his early Ziggy Stardust tour and wrote a narrative around the idea of a larger than life exaggerated glam-rock star playing melancholy pop songs in small clubs, imagining it would look and sound like a space-age Serge Gainsbourg. This was our first attempt, and thought it would make a great introduction to our world.”
