Profound, playful and powerful, Tom The Mail Man’s thoughtful and perceptive lyricism propel ‘Piscesdontstandwithbadpolice’ into its artful stratosphere. In this short but impactful track, Tom questions the passiveness of modern society and the very real threat of police brutality in a personable, humorous and emotionally charged way. 

A narrator whose tenacity and skill is apparent, and depicted in a concise and thematic way, Tom The Mail Man makes a number of striking statements in these compelling, well written bars. He speaks of the absent mindedness of people who deny the existence of prejudice, who fail to confront the injustices of classism and racism, yet have an opinion on everything nonetheless. The protruding, retrospective lyricism is combined with robust tonality and a variety of flows that show the artist to have excellent technical proficiency. The synth based instrumental and tenacious electronic drum kit follows the vocals in a staccato, textured pattern that suits Tom’s voice well. 

There are themes of hope and power amongst the frustration and sadness in this song that is full of character and emotional depth. Important issues addressed by a rising voice.
