Sebadoh

"State of Mine"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Aug 27, 2013

Lo-fi graduates Sebadoh are previewing another track from their impending Defend Yourself LP, this time via the somewhat country-touched jamboree "State of Mine."

Atop a punchy, bar-bound backbeat and fuzz-laced guitar melodies, Lou Barlow discusses family issues, conquering fears and holding his head up high, but seems to resign to the fact that "failure is a state of mine." He name-drops Massachusetts and California in the lyrics too, suggesting the song title doubles down on its puns.

As previously reported, Defend Yourself drops September 17 via Joyful Noise Recordings.
