Mindless Self Indulgence frontman Jimmy Urine has announced a new solo album EURINGER featuring Grimes, Gerard Way, and robots.
Jimmy Urine of the electropunk Mindless Self Indulgence has announced a new solo album EURINGER, featuring appearances from Grimes, My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way, and System of a Down’s Serj Tankian.
“The Medicine Does Not Control Me" will feature Grimes. Speaking about the track, Urine explained to Alt Press, "I don’t drink to get crazy. I think there’s a middle ground where people use liquor to get creative, but you never hear songs about it. You only hear the ones where people ‘went too far’ or they’re ‘gonna party!’”
On working with Grimes, he added, "She’s DIY like a motherfucker. There aren’t a lot of ladies doing synth work, producing, mastering, editing their own videos, everything. Because she’s so talented, I wanted her to write the track and to produce me singing it, like a reverse Britney Spears thing: I’m the ingenue, and Grimes is the mastermind. We didn’t have enough time to do it that way, so I gave her some tracks and ["Medicine”] was the one she chose.”
Grimes' last release was her 2015 album Art Angels, and appeared on Loona/yyxy's "love4eva". More recently Grimes revealed two track snippets on Twitter, and even appeared in an Apple advert with one of her new tracks.
The first track to be revealed from the album is the chaotic "Problematic".
Other tracks include My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, System Of A Down's Serj Tankian, and robots.
"Random EMO Top Line Generator" was created by robots according to Urine, “I loaded up, like, a thousand random generators that gave me words. I put in a word, then a random generator would give me a sentence. Then I’d put that sentence into a different random generator, and it would give me a phrase. I wrote this song based on what I’d get out of these random generators, and I made it a very emotional and heartfelt song.”
