Speedy Ortiz announce new album, Rabbit Rabbit
Speedy Ortiz has announced a new album. On September 1, the group will release Rabbit Rabbit via Wax Nine. It’s their first new album in five years, and today they’ve shared a new single, “You S02.” Check it out below via its video, directed by Elle Schneider.
“Mostly when I’ve met my musical heroes, they’re kind and principled people,” said vocalist/songwriter Sadie Dupuis in a statement. “But occasionally someone whose work I love(d) reveals themselves to be anti-union, or anti-’woke,’ or some other gear-grinding ugliness. That’s who I wrote ‘You S02’ about, the song’s frenzied guitar and synth solos mirroring the crazymaking intensity wafting off people who act like that. In the TV show You’s second season, the main character moves from New York to LA in hopes of a fresh start, but (spoiler) remains a murdering psychopath. Changing cities won’t make you a hero if you still treat others badly.”
