In September, Placebo returned with their first new single in five years, “Beautiful James,” a joyous yet sharp critique of today’s divisive and ignorant climate. Known for capturing the complexities of the human condition, Placebo’s 2021 work resonates deeply amid a world of intolerance, tech overload, and looming environmental crisis. Their track “Surrounded By Spies” confronts the erosion of civil liberties with haunting lyrics and an intense, claustrophobic atmosphere.
