We are releasing our third digital single ‘The Lonely Death Cleaning Company’. The song is derived from an article I read in the paper a couple of years ago about a company in Japan that specialises in cleaning up dwellings after the sole occupant's body has decomposed over many months because nobody has noticed that they have died. This unfortunate tendency is increasing in prosperous western countries because more people are living alone or have no contact with friends or family. I thought it was a peculiar and sad fact that this occurrence could give rise to a company that specialised in the residue of a lonely death. The song has nothing to do with the current Covid 19 crisis which is rattling the world, but it is unfortunately likely that this terrible virus will increase the rate of lonely deaths. Reg Mombassa
