 The The have released a new song, “Mrs Mac,” exclusively as a download purchase from their website. It’s their second release in this format, the first being a re-issue of the instrumental “GunSluts“ (a limited edition single for the last world tour.) Sonically, the vocal-driven “Mrs Mac” is pretty bright sounding by The The standards, but the subject matter itself is on the dark side. On the official The The website, Matt Johnson explained how the song is based on an old Victorian school he attended as a child.
“…Mrs Mac was a ferocious dinner lady/enforcer who worked there. Actually I’m not really quite sure what she did except terrify the living daylights out of children. When you’re 5 or 6 years old it’s hard to work out why some adults are so spiteful to you. Maybe she thought she was somehow doing the right thing by forcing us to eat those awful school meals and shouting at us? Maybe she was just a deranged sadist? I’ll never know.
Although life could be quite miserable there at times the atmosphere of that old school building has long lingered within me and may explain my fondness for Victorian glazed brickwork, polished wooden floors, huge windows, high ceilinged rooms and yes, even the smell of carbolic soap!”
