New Fucked Up Song! →

Yeah! The new record (David Comes to Life, which I think is about me) comes out June 7 on Matador (more info at the Matablog).

The new song is pop music (I mean that in a good way). But I’m willing to bet they’re going to suffer from the same issue Deerhoof does, in that, they’ll make totally great, accessible songs, but because the singer doesn’t sing exactly like everyone else in the universe, they’re considered “weird” and people decide not to listen. Well, I guess they’re not really suffering (either of them), as they seem to be pretty successful as these types of things go, and I’m really the one who gets all upset about it. I need to not read YouTube comments.

Anyway, check out the new song (“The Other Shoe”) at the above link. It’s great. I really enjoy the sound of Damian’s hardcore growls harmonizing with more traditional female vocals. I don’t know how it works, but it really fucking works. They’ll have more preview tracks available April 15th, 26th, and May 3rd.
