phonewifey links up with ERSATZ for their new “smashy energy” single ‘HIT ‘EM WITH A POLE’
phonewifey follows up dance-pop single ‘SO BAD’ with the relatively glitchier and louder ‘HIT ‘EM WITH A POLE’, another taste of the upcoming ‘HARD YEAR’ EP.
With stream-of-consciousness chat about Karens, Harrow and more, the track has already earned a place on Spotify’s coveted ‘hyperpop’ playlist.
“Along with my IRL bestie, ERSATZ, we started writing this song right at the end of 2019, and it took well into the 2020 lockdown to get it finished,” phonewifey says. “It’s a sort-of free associative barrage of intense, exuberant and smashy energy: one part reflecting on a turbulent year, one part personal catharsis, and one part espousing some hopes for future solidarity in the effort to make a huge banger to play incredibly loud as soon as venues reopen.”

TERMINAL BLISS Shares Debut EP Brute Err/Ata
Comments TERMINAL BLISS, “We couldn’t be more excited for folks to hear Brute Err/ata. This group of songs came together rather quickly. In part because of our decades long relationship to punk and one another. I think for the four of us, this band was just something we’d all been chomping at the bit to do for a while. Each of us brings a clear creative vision to the songs and we chisel away at them. We did a lot of meticulous work tweaking the sound and the mix until it was as close to what we were thinking as we could get it. We wanted to make the songs as feral and unhinged as possible. Brute Err/ata is just a snapshot of what we’re trying to do and we are already working on newer material.”
