Pittsburgh's feeble little horse have announced a new album called Girl with Fish, out June 9 via Saddle Creek. The follow-up to last year's (reissued) breakout debut Hayday is being previewed with wonky, fuzzed-out new single "Tin Man," which comes with a video by frontperson Lydia Slocum.
"The song is about people who use sadness to control your actions because they know you will sympathize — oftentimes when these people are investigated there really is not much inside them, they just use emotions to get what they want out of other people. I have my qualms with this sort of person," Lydia Slocum said in a press release about "Tin Man."
Guitarist Ryan Walchonski described "Tin Man" as "one of the songs that represents a new style of writing for us as a group. This song went back and forth through Google Drive links, trying to come up with the best iteration of the song that we were all happy with; vocals recorded, scrapped and re-recorded, drums scrapped and re-recorded, the chorus at one point was completely different."
Girl with Fish was recorded and produced by the band. "Anything that makes us laugh or puts a smile on our faces, we usually end up keeping in the songs," said drummer Jake Kelley in a statement.
