“This song came out of nowhere. The title of the song was born of a conversation with my wife, Jenny,” explains White. “We were reminiscing about harder times in the past, moments where we struggled to get by. I said derisively, ‘Ah, the good old days.’ And we both thought, why do people say that? The last thing I’d want to do is go back and relive it. These are the good days. The best, I’d like to believe, are yet to come.”

New > Blue Angels > “Sue” EP > out now > UNO NYC

These superbly dusty soundscapes reminiscent of golden age Burial meet with a darker folk side for the first time, akin to The Caretaker but crossed channels with early Bon Iver. The elusive producer has reached a climax of soulful club on “Gil” and “Cryin” while transforming to deeply chilled out songwriter levels on “Ceo” and breaking the boundaries of chopped and screwed shoegaze with “Dislocation” – accompanied by a video from renowned video artist Leah Walker.

Ali Barter Shares New Track “Ur A Piece Of Shit” || Out Now On Inertia Music / PIAS
On the surface, “Ur a Piece of Shit” arrives as a scuzzed-out, pop-punk rager, helmed by Ali’s unmistakable, classically trained vocals. But to listen with intent reveals the song’s nuance. We see that the title is no criticism, and is instead wholly endearing, where dark themes are lightened by the world’s oldest psychological salve – humor. Through the collective mantra of “your life is a mess, and so is mine” emerges a relatable coming-of-age song, completed by the understanding that while trauma can often binds us to the past, more often, it binds us to each other. “Ur A Piece of Shit is an ode to my best friends. It’s about the things we went through as teenagers and how they’ve affected us in adult life, and how those experiences have bound us together,” says Ali, “I also invited my girls into the studio to sing on the song. So, you can hear them all in there; my little Piece Of Shit Choir.”

Their rise to success was swift and evident, as they were tapped to support The Replacements, The Call, and The Connells on the road. While touring with different bands only helped to fuel their fire, their hunger to write and record music was insatiable.
