The Go! Team Announce New Album, Share Song: Listen

The Go! Team have announced a new album. Recorded around band-member Ian Parton’s diagnosis with Meniere’s disease, Get Up Sequences Part One arrives July 2 via Memphis Industries. The group has shared the LP’s lead single “World Remember Me Now.” Listen to it below, and scroll down for the album art and tracklist.

“World Remember Me Now” is performed by Go! Team lead vocalist Ninja and members of the Kansas City Girls Choir. “I’ve always been interested in people’s daily routines,” Parton said in a press release. “It was written ages ago but has become strangely relevant to the world now. It’s easy to feel forgotten at the moment.”

Parton adds:

I lost hearing in my right ear halfway during the making of this record. I woke up one Thursday in October 2019 and my hearing was different in some way—it fluctuated over a few weeks and at one point everything sounded like a Dalek. I seem to remember listening to music was bordering on unbearable. Over time it settled into just a tiny bit of hi end being audible on my right side. I thought the hearing loss was from playing music too loud over the years but it turns out I was just unlucky and it was a rare condition called Menieres. It was traumatic to keep listening to songs I knew well but which suddenly sounded different and it was an odd juxtaposition to listen to upbeat music when I was on such a downer. The trauma of losing my hearing gave the music a different dimension for me and it transformed the album into more of a life raft.

The Go! Team released their last studio album, Semicircle, in 2018.
