Misery Prize's latest release, "Thought Police," is a pointed, thought-provoking track about surveillance, social media culture, conformity, and the shrinking space for individualism. Its opening is couched in the language of authority, then shifts into the modern digital world. The sting of "You're never off your phone" is particularly pointed when it's about likes, emojis, swipes, and online visibility. The images in the song are rapid-fire and fast-paced, creating a feeling of intentional dis-ease, like the constant anxiety of being watched and judged. Rather than a warning from the future, 'Thought Police' is a reflection of the present with its combative tone and incisive comments.
