The follow-up to Coupon’s lead single ‘Dogshot’, ‘No Change’ features Clemens’ deadpan vocals backed by an upbeat bass line, snappy drums and field recordings that break through like shrapnel.

Clemens says of the track:

“[‘No Change’] is the product of a pretty constant vacillation between indifference and outrage at the state of the world, the vacillation between outrage at myself for not doing anything to change it, and indifference from the knowledge that no little post-punk ditty I write is going to change anything in the world.” 

“The bass line was knocking about in my head for a while. I recorded it on my phone with Pablo, who I was staying with in Guadalajara, and sent it to Dom. I tried to make the drums sound like Pablo who was playing them but a bit more punk, but Dom said it sounded like Crash Bandicoot. The end result is a pretty simple beat with a snare that sounds like a car trying to start. The recording I sent to Dom is kept at the end of the song, with some other phone recordings from around that time.” he continues.
