“Gotta Get Outta The House” by The Brothers Burn

There’s something delightfully unhinged about ''Gotta Get Outta The House'' and that’s precisely its magic. The latest single from The Brothers Burn, Scott Osborn’s genre-hopping alter ego, is a funked-up blast of nervous energy, bursting at the seams with personality. Written on one of those days when the walls start closing in, the track transforms cabin fever into catharsis, channelling it through jagged guitars, elastic basslines, and a vocal delivery that’s equal parts desperation and dancefloor delirium. It’s weird in all the right ways—like Talking Heads doing jumping jacks with Devo in a hallway too small for either of them.

Osborn has a knack for pairing sharp, wry lyrics with grooves that practically bounce off the walls. “Gotta Get Outta The House” wastes no time setting the scene—it jumps in with a restless pulse and doesn’t let go. There’s a cartoonish quality to the arrangement, but not in a gimmicky way; it’s more like a Technicolor dream of funk, punk, and pop, stitched together with duct tape and a sly grin. You can hear echoes of his influences—The B-52’s chaos, Weird Al’s cheek, even the odd Ballyhoo! uplift—but the sound is his strange cocktail, shaken hard and served with a wink.

The production is tight but playfully loose—nothing feels overly polished, and that works to the track’s advantage. Percussion skitters, synths jab in and out, and Osborn’s vocals ride the chaos like someone dancing alone in a cluttered living room at 3 PM on a Tuesday. There’s a charm in how casually unhinged it all is, and yet, beneath the humour and sonic flair, the sentiment is deeply relatable. Who hasn’t stared at a wall, shoes on, keys in hand, needing nothing more than 'out'?

That duality—absurdity and sincerity—has always been a hallmark of The Brothers Burn, and it’s what gives this song its staying power. Yes, it’s fun. Yes, it’s silly. But there’s truth stitched into every beat. Osborn captures the psychological itch of being cooped up and spins it into something weirdly beautiful—a call to move, shake, laugh, and maybe even scream into the void with a rhythm you can dance to.

With ''Gotta Get Outta The House,'' The Brothers Burn proves once again that left-of-centre pop doesn’t need to be niche—it just needs to be honest, inventive, and a little fearless. This track doesn’t just stand out—it sprints, shimmies, and side-eyes its way to the front of the line. If Osborn’s mission is to blur the lines between the bizarre and the brilliant, he’s right on track. And frankly, after hearing this, you might feel like getting out of the house too and don’t forget to bring your dancing shoes.
