"Obvious Guy" is the fourth track featured on Alfie Templeman's fourth EP "Happiness in Liquid Form".
In an interview with NME, he talks about the track as follows:
"“Obvious Guy” is mostly about social anxiety. I’ve no idea why, but I hate being seen outside — it’s this horrible thing. I never get nervous onstage, but if I’m walking in a nice park with my headphones in and then I see someone I know, I’m like: ‘Fuuuuck, I really don’t want to talk.’ It’s all about that feeling of just trying to hide away from everyone; just wishing that everything was really quiet, calm and peaceful. I wrote it with Nick Hogdson , and it was just an opportunity for me to flex my bass playing. Next to “Happiness”, it’s definitely the funkiest song that I’ve ever made — just this really raw 70s sound.
The video is really great, too: the guy that animated it, his name is Jake Huffcutt and he’s just crazy cool. The girl that I meet at the end of the video actually looks like my girlfriend, so that was a pretty nice coincidence. It’s a good feeling: kind of like writing a book and then hoping that the movie looks like what you thought it would in your head."
