When All The Other Countries Were Having Fun

The Victorian English Gentlemens Club “Bored In Belgium”

There’s something in the Victorian English Gentlemens Club’s music that makes me want to indulge in mischief. Their songs are frantic and dynamic, but also focused and direct, evoking the buzz of paranoia and the thrill of transgression. On top of that, the group vocals tend to imply a feeling of camaraderie, as if you’re just part of a jolly crew of kids up to no good, desperately seeking fun in a boring, stifling world. “Bored In Belgium” is explicitly about escaping a dull existence, attempting to find relief and release, and though it’s unclear whether that is entirely possible, the song itself is certainly an amazing catharsis.
