LA’s Flamango Bay shares catchy new single/video, ‘Boyz’ – another look into upcoming EP, Mascara, out 22 March on Moshi Moshi.
‘Boyz’ is about Ikaika Gunderson’s experience of coming out as non-binary just as the world opened back up post-pandemic. While fast-paced and upbeat, ‘Boyz’ analyzes male toxic traits, complete with a face-melting guitar solo.
“I found myself getting annoyed with men who spoke with such conviction when they were being unrealistic. Or overestimating themselves when they wrongly thought they could do everything themselves. The thing that got me the most is that not only were these attitudes socially acceptable, they were even seen as praise-worthy.
Ikaika Gunderson
I wrote this song making fun of them. Ironically, this expression finds me participating in this very “boy” performance: comparing myself to others and feeling a sense of competitiveness against them.”
