about

This is the first single off ‘On An Unhistoric Night’, the debut album from Best Bets (Ōtautahi/Christchurch, NZ).

The song comments on the folly of summiting Everest in the 21st century and the hubris of humans’ drive to reach lofty heights for purely selfish reasons. The title refers to fallen mountaineers being immortalised in ice, a cruel irony. The song is propelled by a driving rhythm section and staccato guitars, with Cars-esque melodies heralding the subject’s demise.
