Next week, Feeble Little Horse kick off their tour behind their really good new album bitknot. If you’re going to see them, you should really show up early. For the first week of that tour, the opening act is Computerwife, the one-person alt-rock project from the Atlanta-born, New York-based musician Addie Warncke. Today, she releases her new song “Nobody.”
The Computerwife origin story is a good one. Addie Warncke was a teenager when she heard Grimes talking about “Kill V. Maim” on the Song Exploder podcast in 2018, and that led her to download Ableton and start making her own music. She went on to to study at NYU’s Clive Davis Institute Of Recorded Music, and she started putting her Computerwife songs up on SoundCloud in her freshman year. That led her to release a self-titled EP in 2020 and a self-titled album in 2023. Her new song “Nobody” is a piece of fuzzy, riffy alt-rock that deconstructs and reconstructs ’90s alt-rock sounds, reflecting the aesthetics of a couple of different generations. Here’s what she says about it:
“Nobody” is about being in love in Las Vegas, taking pictures of my boyfriend in hotels, driving through the desert, and staying up all night high on the sidewalk, doing a lot of nothing. It’s about the power of sharing the world with someone else even though no relationship is ever perfect.
Warncke co-directed the lo-fi “Nobody” video with Kenneth Neighbors. Check it out below, along with Computerwife’s tour dates.
