Militarie Gun & Dazy release new collab song “Tall People Don’t Live Long”

Militarie Gun and Dazy‘s collaborative song “Pressure Cooker” is a fan fave for both artists, so it’s exciting news that they’ve just teamed up for another track together. This one’s called “Tall People Don’t Live Long,” and it’s got that same baggy/Madchester tinge as “Pressure Cooker” but in a chiller, moodier way. Militarie Gun’s Ian Shelton says:

James is taller than me so you can guess how I came up with the title of this song. What started as a joke between us turned into a real conversation about how sometimes people who have reached certain heights in life begin to look down on others. ’Tall people’ became our tongue-in-cheek term for anyone that’s lost so much perspective that they think it’s alright to make someone feel less-than. This song is about rejecting that attitude—the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Dazy’s James Goodson adds:

Ian and I wrote this song shortly after ‘Pressure Cooker’ came out and it made us realize how daring we could actually be with songwriting. It came together really quickly in an afternoon of us sending ideas back and forth, and I’ll never forget how we couldn’t stop listening to the demo and saying ‘I can’t believe we wrote this.’ Years later we were finally able to get together and take the song over the finish line with Justin Raisen. We see Dazy & Militarie Gun as basically its own band, a separate body of work from our other music with its own identity, and I think this song really solidified that idea for us.

The duo debuted the song live at Dazy’s NYC show at TV Eye last week (4/7) and now it’s officially out and comes with a shadowy black-and-white music video directed by Ian that finds the pair decked out in sharp suits. Check it out below.

Militarie Gun were supposed to be on tour of North America with High Vis right now but the tour was cancelled after High Vis vocalist Graham Sayle needed emergency surgery. MG will be back in NYC this June for day three of Governors Ball.
