Cursive and the Good Life frontman Tim Kasher has released a video for "What Are We Doing," the third and final single from his upcoming solo album, Middling Age, due out April 15 via 15 Passenger Records.
Speaking of the single in a press release, Kasher said:
"What Are We Doing" was written in my current home of L.A., and though it references it specifically, it's more accurately an indictment of the US and/or any first-world society—the excess we expend at the expense of others. As a member of said society, I indict myself as well in the song; my hands are just as dirty as the next entitled citizen, benefitting from a 'grab-n-go' economy. As is often my preference, the brighter and more melodic a song is, the harder I tend to downturn the lyrics, as I've attempted here on this catchy little number, wagging the finger at myself and all of us privileged folk for continually exploiting and taking for granted this system that seems to have been created exclusively for those more fortunate.
"What Are We Doing" follows previously released singles "I Don't Think About You" and "Forever of the Living Dead."
Kasher will take his new album on tour in May with Laura Jane Grace and Anthony Green. So far, no Canadian dates have been announced.
