London-based duo Arliston, made up of Jack Ratcliffe and George Hasbury, have released the title track from their debut album, Disappointment Machine, set to launch on February 7, 2025. Following singles "Monks of Lindisfarne" and "What Did I Think Would Happen", this latest offering dives deep into cycles of behavior and the inevitable disappointments they bring.
The song explores the universal struggle of repeating patterns by habit, accident, or resistance to change. The band explains how cycles can lead to disappointment, and how feelings can remain, even when you try to minimize them. With vivid imagery—such as trying to hang problems on a coat hanger—Arliston crafts a relatable anthem for navigating life’s uncertainties.
Influenced by the likes of The National and Bon Iver, Arliston’s crisp production and captivating songwriting make Disappointment Machine an essential listen, offering comfort and reflection for those caught in life’s transitional moments.
