“Some Kind of Dangerous” finds Arts Fishing Club in a more boogie rock mode but not in the way that feels like a retro 70s rock mode so much as embracing a visceral aspect of the band’s songwriting. It’s a song about humans now basically evolving toward becoming one with the machines that were supposed to make our lives easier but which in many ways have made them more complicated and which are marketed to us as an essential part of our identities. And in this increasingly techbro dominated economic reality with monetized everything with algorithms driving too much the alienation more than crept up on everyone. But there’s something that feels vital about being connected to one’s humanity and analog uniqueness and the song with its rough edges, emotive vocal flourishes and occasional asymmetrical structure seems to not be in line with what an AI music engine would produce. In the music video the band performs in what looks like a garage with the tools for yard work in place as a symbol to getting back to roots as a path to rebelling against being channeled into pathways that the leech the humanity out of creativity.
