Upchuck detail Ty Segall-produced album, I’m Nice Now
Atlanta punk quintet Upchuck have announced their forthcoming third album and Domino debut, I’m Nice Now, and share two new singles, "Forgotten Token" and "Un Momento".
With the new single, "Forgotten Token", vocalist KT addresses the sudden loss of her sister during the recording of I’m Nice Now and the way in which she was undervalued in her life and, in her death, by some, she became commodified.
Speaking of the song she says, “It’s just like another soft yell/yearn for remaining aware of how you're treating others and what people mean to you. You can lose things easily and not care, thinking you'll just get another one. But people aren't objects." The video underscores the dark side of gentrification and, in keeping with the song’s familial theme, features cameos from KT’s mother, grandmother, and brother.
“In this world of constant distractions and stressors it’s important to keep your mind, body, and spirit sane and sound enough to continue through this seemingly never-ending fight,” she adds, discussing the themes on the forthcoming album which was produced and mixed by Ty Segall.
