Brighton-based Max McLellan aka Psychic Shakes have shared his new single ‘Wage Slave’, taken from his forthcoming EP Unsaid, landing this year on Good Eye Records. Pretty much echoing the sentiments of probably 85 percent of day to day workers, the dream pop meets jangle rock handing is an anthem for those who crave to break free from the 9 to 5 grind.

Touching on the song, Psychic Shakes stated:

“I’ve done so many crappy jobs trying to make ends meet- one highlight was power washing bird shit off a veranda in the rain. I wrote ‘Wage Slave’ after leaving a job as a ‘grill chef’ for a small burger restaurant in Brighton during my first year of University. I used to come home from work and smell so awful my girlfriend wouldn’t want to sit near me, I smelled like sweat and oil.

While you’re working in those sorts of jobs all you can think about is the future and what you’re going to do when your shift finishes.”
