Yorkshire alternative/electronic quartet Flesh Planet have released “Computer Games & Rude Things,” the opening track from their debut EP ‘first flesh,’ and it hits with a mechanical, dystopian weight that feels entirely intentional. Recorded at Chairworks studio in Castleford, the EP blends grunge, shoegaze, industrial, and electronic into a sound that’s genuinely hard to pin down, and that’s exactly the point. Vocalist Damo Hughes wrote the track as a direct confrontation with neurodivergent depression, specifically the paralysing push-pull between fear of the outside world and fear of wasting your own potential. It’s a reality check dressed in Commodore Amiga-era sci-fi textures, and it works. The video, shot at Williams Amusements arcade warehouse in Castleford, locks in perfectly with the song’s retro-digital atmosphere.
