vegas water taxi have announced a new EP with teaser single ‘Ozempic’

vegas water taxi are set to release their new EP ‘first time listener’ on 6th February via PNKSLM Recordings.

The EP serves as the counterpart to their previous release, ‘long time caller’, and together they will form the LP ‘long time caller, first time listener’, available on 12-inch vinyl the same day.

The lead single from the EP, ‘ozempic (celebrity weight loss anxiety blues)’, is a reflection on body dysmorphia and modern self-image culture.

Frontman Ben Hambro comments on the single, stating: “I’ve always struggled with the way I look, and I probably always will. I’m fascinated by the use of beauty as a currency within society, and how often people will be dishonest about the fact that they will go to great lengths to achieve the leverage that it provides. It’s hilarious and tragic seeing loads of celebrities now all looking identical through the jabs, even though the body positivity movements only just in the rearview mirror. Sometimes it’s extremely valid to be cynical about these things. People are fickle.”

The tracklisting for ‘first time listener’ reads:

‘jamie xx’
‘ozempic (celebrity weight loss anxiety blues)’
‘new irish boyfriend’
‘brat summer’
