“Baggage from my ex with a one-sentence breakup text.” That’s the opening line from “Comedy 42,” New York indie duo Um, Jennifer?’s new song “Comedy 42.” That’s good writing, and it’s better when rendered as a jaunty, shambling take on ’60s pop music. <\/p>\n
Um, Jennifer? were a Band To Watch<\/a> last year, when they released their full length debut Um Comma Jennifer Question Mark<\/em>, and they followed it with the one-off single “Stunning<\/a>.” “Comedy 42,” their latest, is a droll little number about personal apocalypse. Here’s what Eli Scarpati says about it in the Bandcamp description:<\/p>\n “Comedy 42” is about a time when being asleep felt better than being awake; when no one could possibly know how I felt, least of all, me. In terms of sound, I played “Comedy 42” for my friend, and he said it sounds like The Transgender Beach Boys (so, the Beach Boys) which feels pretty accurate to me. It\u2019s a sunny song about a dark time in my life, and I hope it serves as a reminder that connection (and sometimes medication) is the only way through. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “Comedy 42” is out now on Final Girl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source stereogum.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Baggage from my ex with a one-sentence breakup text.” That’s the opening line from “Comedy 42,” New York indie duo Um, Jennifer?’s new song “Comedy 42.” That’s good writing, and it’s better when rendered as a jaunty, shambling take on ’60s pop music.
