Declan McKenna – ‘Zeros’ review: pop’s deep thinker loves to boogie on retro-futuristic second album. 'Zeros' finds the Londoner channeling his '70s glam-rock superstar heroes, all while navigating the complexities of being a hyper-connected 21-year-old. bit.ly

I’d just read that Sagittarius A* was the name of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, so it’s like this big massive thing that’s just pulling everything in and downward. And unless some other crazy shit in the universe happens, it’s inevitable that one day we’re going to be sucked into it. I guess the simplest way of describing it is like, “I’m Sagittarius, I’m a star, I am this thing that is going to pull you all down with me.” I was seeing a lot of people in very powerful positions ignore the concerns of people who were in much less powerful positions, worried about the environment and worried about injustices and worried about things, and it’s just almost like, “I am bigger than the world, even though we are limited to our resources and we know we’re limited to our world. I don’t care, and I’m going to pull you down with me.”
