I can&#8217;t help but thinking that if there had been more consequences for certain people&#8217;s actions in the past decade or so, we wouldn&#8217;t have quite so many angry, frustrated and disillusioned people.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Broken Ship<\/em> is the fourth and final single from AKIVA&#8217;s Angelic Studio sessions. Produced by Jake Gordon (Skepta, J Hus, Everything Everything), this intense lamentation of the battered and bewildered nature of Brexit Britain pulses with anger from its bittersweet guitar intro and urgent offbeats to its explosive, indie-rock mass, all spiky guitar stabs, frantic beat, punchy bass and gutsy lead guitar. It&#8217;s a brutal musical base for Dave&#8217;s high-velocity vocal as he barely pauses for breath while laying into those who&#8217;ve acted with impunity as the UK has fractured in recent years. <em>&#8220;&#8216;Broken Ship&#8217; is about the importance of consequences for actions,&#8221; <\/em>says Dave,<em> &#8220;and how quickly things start to fall apart when these get lost.&#8221;<\/em> &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Broken Ship<\/em> is a cry of frustration captured in a characteristically striking video by Berlin-based animator Wayne McCauslin. Two years into his creative relationship with the band, he and Akiva have crafted their third music video. This time, McCauslin has switched to a lyric-video format, depicting lines from the song \u2013 <em>&#8220;When it&#8217;s heads you seem to win, But when it&#8217;s tails you never lose&#8221;<\/em> \u2013 in twisted, luminous typography displayed over scenes of sinking urban decay. As an audio-visual package it&#8217;s both a formidable piece of art and a rousing call to arms. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Indie-rock agitators Akiva share striking lyric video to Broken Ship, their angry takedown of the forces behind Brexit Britain.
