Nixer release new single The Roy Keane Theme
Nixer have released The Roy Keane Theme a spoken-word spiral of anxiety, ritual and dark humour, inspired by a Roy Keane TV pundit moment around his ideology of being “on time”.
Wrapped in a skeletal goth-punk guitar soundtrack, the track follows a frantic walk where being on time becomes an all-consuming obsession, drifting between obsessive thought patterns, absurd observations and moments of self-awareness. Minimal drums and haunted guitars leave space for every word to feel like an internal monologue echoing through empty streets at night. Equal parts unsettling, funny and painfully relatable, it’s a song about a walking narrator whose biggest enemy is time itself.
