NYC band Public Circuit are scheduled to release their second album Modern Church on September 12th. Having already shared the singles ‘Samson’ and ‘To The Grave’, the trio now unveil their third track ‘No Faith’.

‘No Faith’ captures the new wave / post punk spirit of early 80s New York City whilst adding an electronica flair of the now, creating something truly enticing. The production is lively topped with a spunky vocal performance, making for one great single release. Public Circuit is definitely proving to be one of the more exciting bands at the moment, and ‘No Faith’ continues to solidify that statement.

Touching on the track, Public Circuit’s Ethan Biamont said:

“The oldest song written for the album, but the last to be finished. We played ‘No Faith’ over and over again for months for it to finally come together one late night while we were mixing the record. It shifted the way we wanted to guide the album sonically as a whole with a sharp and biting character that we wanted to lean into.

I think this characteristic guides the song’s lyrical meaning, as this song always felt embittered towards, what I believe to be, the often frivolous nature of ‘faith’; a concept that has always fascinated me. I think it’s human to put your faith in things, God, routine, fitness, your job, or an expected standard of presentation. I’m not saying that there is nothing to have faith in, or nothing to believe in, but rather sometimes one’s faith may supersede their best interests or true self. Personally, ‘No Faith’ is about rejecting the notions of the gender binary; specifically the rigid outlines of masculinity, and accepting myself as a queer person.”
