Callum Thompson lanserar projektet AKA med singeln 'It Grows On Trees (Money)'

Callum Thompson, gitarrist i The Mysterines, har debuterat med sitt nya soloprojekt AKA genom singeln 'It Grows On Trees (Money)'. Låten, en distad psykedelisk rocklåt, satiriserar pengatjänande i den moderna världen och släpps tillsammans med en musikvideo som visar gigantiska hundar som åker skateboard i Liverpool. Thompson beskriver låten som en utforskning av identitet i medieåldern.

Musikern Callum Thompson från Liverpool, känd som gitarrist i The Mysterines, presenterade sitt nya projekt AKA den 26 april med utgivningen av 'It Grows On Trees (Money)'. Den medryckande, dimmiga psykedeliska rocklåten kritiserar processen för hur rikedom genereras idag. En tillhörande musikvideo, regisserad av Charles Gall, visar gigantiska hundar som åker skateboard och rusar genom Liverpools gator. Thompson förklarade låtens tema: ”Det är en låt om när det surrealistiska blir verkligt. Den handlar om att hitta sig själv när man slutar leta. Den undersöker hur identitet utvecklas i den moderna medieåldern – och känslan av att visshet bara existerar i tvivel.” Han framträdde första gången som AKA i Brighton i januari och spelade ett exklusivt set under Record Store Day 2026 på Rough Trade East i London, där framträdandet senare släpptes som en begränsad vinylutgåva. Kommande spelningar inkluderar The Great Escape-festivalen i Brighton den 15 maj och Midi Festival i Frankrike den 24 juli. The Mysterines, Thompsons band, släppte sitt andra album 'Afraid Of Tomorrows' under 2024.
