Obviously a labor of love. We worked whenever we could for the past
three years, 2 weeks on 6 months off, between Pat’s busy tour schedule
with LCD and Dennis’ working on film scores and new Jee Day releases.
We had a bunch of unfinished material from the 1st record and were
working on new material whenever we could. We worked in home studios;
we built our our own recording studio in Dumbo to write and track new
material; and, when we were kicked out of that, we snuck into DFA
studios as the building was about to be gutted and finished an album’s
worth of new material with all the limited time and resources we had.
This single is the first product of all our efforts.
Picking up where the 1st record left off, this single hints at that
new material: caravan songs, about moving and moving on. An exercise
in slapping ourselves in the face, taking stock of this moment we’re
in and then out of. To explore the elephantine sadness that plagues us
as we find ourselves complicit in our own extinction. Why do we love?
Who do we love? For what do we fight? When faced with displacement how
do you keep moving, and whistling on your way?
