Singaporean band Subsonic Eye have released a music video visualizer for “Being Productive,” the vibrant yet restless third single from their forthcoming fifth album, Singapore Dreaming, out June 11, 2025, via Topshelf Records.
A moody alt-rock number driven by angular guitar lines and a simmering undercurrent of tension, “Being Productive” captures the disquiet of trying to find purpose in the daily grind.
The track builds on the band’s shoegaze roots while leaning into a sharper, more focused sound — all the while pulsing with the unease of modern life in motion.
About the track by Nur Wahidah:
“This idea of ‘being productive’ has always been challenging for me. When I was unemployed, and I was doing the things that I love in my free time (which was like 90 percent of my day), it felt like I was being unproductive despite the fact that these were fulfilling things.
In a capitalist way, reading, knitting, stitching just wasn’t productive – unless I were to sell my crafts.
It gave me this dread – that I was useless and lazy and that I didn’t deserve the free time I had.
In hindsight, it definitely helped me to process this negative idea of ‘deserving a break’.
