Senior Dunce declares war on mediocrity with debut single “City Centre”

If you’ve ever dreamed of what it would be like if self-deprecation took on the physical form of a clown getting down in the street traffic, meet Senior Dunce’s debut single, “City Centre.” This is an unfiltered introduction to a voice too loud to be ignored and too weird to blend in, and that’s all part of the design. Senior Dunce is fully aware of what he’s doing, even when he acts as if he doesn’t. “City Centre” pushes its own awkwardness as far as it can go.
The production is all twitches and bumps, jittery and slightly unmoored, and the effect is something like watching someone dance through failing shoelaces, but still, maintaining a beat. There’s a twisted confidence in the sound. But more of a surprise is how Dunce sings the title more precisely and says “centre.” It’s weirdly specific but also very deliberate. He leans hard into the new mispronunciation as though it were a mark of respect, contorting it into something else, like some kind of private joke he shares with the microphone. “City Centre” reads as a stroll through a locale full of overpriced coffee, existential dread, and ill-fitting outfits.
It’s observational, more like insights from someone who considers life one big sketch comedy skit and has no problem making an ass of himself. There’s heart to the irony and a strange brand of vulnerability that burns through the comedy. He’s the sort of artist who shows up to the party sporting a tie as a headband because he’s exactly that dude. That’s encouraging for a debut single and a breath of fresh air. A little strange, a little wild, and utterly unforgettable. Senior Dunce may think he’s a joke, but it turns out the punchline could not be better.
