Ever the provocateur, Ignatius C. Litroc pushes his artistry into sharper, more provocative territory with Particles Of — a deceptively polite title for an irresistibly engaging alt-folk track.
Following the earlier, exclusive release of the electrified French rendition Des particules de merde, this fresh English indie rock take feels clearer, more intimate, and strikingly effective in elevating both theme and delivery.
Accompanied by visuals as intentionally unpleasant as they are intriguing, Particles Of defies the scientific associations its name might suggest. Instead, it grabs you from the outset with unflinching lyrical candour, offset by a warm, soulful, and surprisingly infectious performance.
Ignatius C. Litroc has a knack for delivering something both shocking and entertaining, and this song embodies that duality perfectly. It’s a lively, colourful alt-folk groove, laced with hints of soul-jazz, the kind of organic, festival-ready energy that sticks with you — while delivering biting, darkly comic, and wonderfully grotesque commentary on modern society, authority, and even personal relationships.
Blurring the line between humour and razor-sharp social insight, Litroc demonstrates once again his ability to make a song linger long after the last note — its melody and message refusing to fade quietly into the background.
