Peaer have released ‘Bad News’, the latest single from their forthcoming album doppelgänger, which is out January 16 via Danger Collective. The slinky, hypnotic track follows previous entries ‘Just Because’ and ‘Button’. Listen to it below.
“This song started off as three separate ideas,” Peter Katz explained in a press release. “The Pinback-esque bassline, the chord progression that became the chorus, and the outro. Thom, Jeremy and I worked together to construct this song out of those ideas and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I really wanted to include an Omar Rodriguez-Lopez style guitar solo, too. I’m really happy with how we’ve incorporated our influences on this song especially, while also feeling like it’s the ‘most Peaer’ song to date.”
“Lyrically, the song grew from the resentment I was feeling at the time towards my career as a musician,” Katz continued, “and also towards myself for further retreating into solitude (‘yeah I’m pretty sure/I’m staying in tonight…’it must be nice/to make what you like/and have everyone approve’). Overall it comes out sort of bitter, but I hope the resolve towards the end shows a turn away from that darkness and into a more self-confident future.”
