The troupe&#8217;s artistic director and piccolo\/flute player Christo Squier had this to say about the track:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;Droplets\/Molecules condenses the troupe&#8217;s love for post-minimalism, progressive rock and science, into a detailed, brass-fuelled flurry. Shot entirely on GoPros, it shows what it&#8217;s like to &#8216;ride&#8217; upon our instruments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The lyrics evoke fascination on a molecular and subatomic level \u2013 the ever-shifting discoveries being made about the smallest building blocks of matter. We wanted the musicality, particularly the woodwind at the end, to reflect that somehow.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out the bubbly video for &#8216;Droplets \/ Molecules&#8217; below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RYEzsRyqY_E?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perhaps Contraption are celebrating the release of <em>Mud Belief<\/em> with a launch show at London&#8217;s Rich Mix on May 12th.
