"Emotional Scatter" was released as a single on September 25, 2019. The Band Famous self-produced music video premiered on City Pages Music on October 22, 2019 as part of Local Frames Top 5 MN music videos.
“Self-produced trip-hop group the Band Famous exist to uplift you, even if they sound a bit wacky when they do. They may not be self-actualized enough to dispense good advice, but their new single “Emotional Scatter” tries, dammit. Directed by TBF members Norell and Zander, the video tries to play motivational speaker, but when the band mixes in goofy lyrics and a mooning gnome toy, it’s hard to take them totally seriously. Which might be the point: Stop taking yourself so seriously and enjoy the jam.”
Jerard Fagerberg - City Pages
This song was written, recorded, and produced while TBF members Zander and Norell were living in a car for 2.5 years. The song was mastered and finalized, and music video completed when they opened The Band Famous venue in Los Angeles, CA.
The music video features a gnome toy signed by comedian / actor / director Tom Green, who shared the music video on his Twitter, and has been a supporter of The Band Famous for some years since The Band Famous appeared on and called into Tom Green's Webovision, The Tom Green Podcast, and The Tom Green Show on CBS Radio.
"Very cool. That’s amazing! Wow you’re really organized! That sounds super cool. Coding is the new rock n roll!…I love Famous…Your band is exciting, you have an exciting - would you call it an industrial metal band? What is it more of a pop, pop industrial alternative band?"
— Tom Green, actor, comedian, filmmaker and musician known for his stand-up comedy and movies like Road Trip, Charlie’s Angels, Freddy Got Fingered, The Tom Green Show on MTV, and more.
lyrics
Emotional Scatter
Brain susceptible to flatter
Minds ever change
Rearranged and estranged.
What are you thinking?
See you look without blinking.
Walk in like you own the place
Wanna wipe the smug off your face
See, you’re not ahead in the race.
Everybody paper chase
How quickly will you reveal an ace?
Count your cards and watch your step
Pick and choose and place your bet
There is no shortcut, no runaround.
That trail will lead you straight into the ground.
Rise up, be strong, and move along (x3)
Far more than you know
Sing a similar song
(So) Rise up, be strong, and move along.
Rise up, be strong.
Rise up, be strong, rise up, be strong
Rise up, be strong, rise up, be strong
Rise up, be strong
Far more than you know
Sing a similar song
Rise up, be strong, (yeah) rise up, be strong
Rise up, be strong
Far more than you know -
Far more than you know
Sing a similar song.
