In Black Grapefruit’s words, “This year has been challenging for us and there’s just so much fucking tension around the world. We’ve been chasing moments of release and freedom — it’s that spirit that drives this project. Club music really prioritizes energy over structure, so working on this project was a much needed departure for us. We had some things we wanted to say and try, but we didn’t want to be bound by any kind of format. It all started with the single, “Waist.” After locking that song in we started to think, “what if we built a vibe around this?” We let go and followed our instincts. Fuck convention or structure, we needed to feel good about something. We needed to say some shit out loud and dance. We imagine it as the car ride to, and/or from, the club.”

Influential Midwestern Emo Vets Giants Chair Debut New Song “Kids Running” on Talkhouse
Hobart writes: “I don’t know about you, but I can’t sit down with a stack of old VHS tour tapes of my ’90s post-punk emo rock band GIANTS CHAIR without thinking about my unease with nostalgia. This is a band that hasn’t made a record — scarcely even played — in the last 23 years… but a band that, nevertheless, has somehow found itself with a new record to be released on December 6, 2019. Like one of my early songwriter heroes, Bob Dylan, I don’t want to look back. I don’t want to tempt my mid-life fate getting wistful or woeful about the “good ‘ol tour days.” But I’m sitting here with these tapes whirring in this borrowed TV/VCR combo because, after all these years, this band is desperate to find some footage to help us pull together some kind of music video by the end of this adult work week. So, here I am at 48. Faced, literally, with myself believing in myself and this same old, well… young, ’90s emo rock band — at 25 years of age, 23 years ago and now. To quote a more-recent songwriting hero, David St. Hubbins, as he considers what his epitaph should be… “And why not?”

An off-kilter banger built around chopped-up organ and crackling snares, “Maria” finds Greedo describing his relationship with a lovely Latina lady, referencing Maria Full of Grace, a 2004 film about the international drug trade, and the star-crossed relationship in the classic musical West Side Story. Eschewing the woozy melodies that define many of Greedo’s best-known tracks, “Maria” showcases Greedo’s seasick flow and his creative rhyme schemes: “I sold drugs when I ain’t have an ID yet/1-0-3 right off the 105 freeway/Heavy sold dope and spoke Swahili to the Kiwis/Damus, Pirus, a few Hispanic peoples.”
