Lynks – I Didn’t Come Here for Art
Lynks kicks off a new track with “I Didn’t Come Here For Art”, an electro-punk floor-filler aimed squarely at London’s painfully cool art crowd. The masked polymath’s first release since debut album “ABOMINATION” doesn’t hold back, building to a rallying cry of “no more try-hard, spoken-word, art school shit!”
The track targets a specific scene: trendy multi-use spaces hosting pretentious art performances where “straight mullet boys in Palace tees nod their heads thoughtfully”. Lynks channels that frustration into a pulsing anthem about ditching self-consciousness and just dancing.
This marks the start of what Lynks calls their “Global Sex” era. Last month, they transformed London’s Selfridges car park into a subterranean queer rave above Oxford Street, featuring surprise sets from Alex Chapman, Black Peppa, Tsatsamis, Elouiza, Greta Isaac, and Thempress. The night delivered precisely what the new single promises: sweaty, euphoric, and unashamedly unhinged.
“I Didn’t Come Here For Art” follows 2024’s “ABOMINATION” album and standalone single “SMALLTALK”. The pop-provocateur makes it clear they’re done with cool-kid posturing and ready for something messier.
