Fuck Around with K Anderson
The London singer-songwriter gets the doodle treatment
In the video for K Anderson’s latest, aptly-titled single ‘Fuck Around,’ a pair of hands doodle a handsome half of a face, a confused-looking monster, and a crudely drawn dick and balls. Sounds totally up your alley, doesn’t it? The track is a break-up song at its core, describing how even jerking off has become a futile chore after losing the one who got away to the singer’s own youthful cockiness. But with an upbeat banjo hook and a chorus of doo-wops dropped into the background for good measure, ‘Fuck Around’ ends up being the sweetest-sounding song about the futility of masturbating just to pass the time that you’ll ever hear.
‘Fuck Around’ also happens to be the name of a zine released to coincide with the track, available on K Anderson’s Bandcamp. Including a copy of the completed doodle drawing depicted in the video, the zine encompasses drawings, photographs, poetry, stories and ‘even some crochet.’ I don’t have a clue how he’s done that, but after reading the singer’s spot-on Top 5 Masturbation Songs guest blog post for Infectious Magazine (kudos for including this timeless gem of a song/music video), I’m inclined to believe just about anything he’s promoting.
