Technological Luddism is hardly a new thing among musical purists. But Downie Street Collective are so convincing about it that you might be tempted to chuck your smartphone into the nearest river and retreat to the nearest farm to start raising your own meat.

On their new single, “Analog Man,” the band takes a hard look at the human experience in the age of digital overload. The song, they explain, is meant to decry “the growing dissonance between our innate need for physical, human connection and the increasingly virtual world we inhabit.” 

“What is lost when we trade touch for taps, skin for swipes?” they wonder.
