Thus far, we don&#8217;t really know anything about the band&#8217;s upcoming LP beyond its title and its lead single, but that lead single knocks.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Pink Mexico released a deeply satisfying astral stomp called &#8220;g\u00f8d wishes he was here.&#8221; That song is on the Pink Mexico side of a new split, which the band shares with the Brooklyn doom band Pants Exploder. I was previously unfamiliar with Pants Exploder, but I think we can all agree that that&#8217;s a really, really good name for a band. The Pants Exploder song on the EP is called &#8220;you like sabbath dude? yeah? you like the wizzid?,&#8221; and it rocks really hard.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that Pink Mexico multi-instrumentalist Grady Walker also sings and plays guitar in Pants Exploder, and his Pink Mexico partner Robert Preston Collum sings backup on &#8220;you like sabbath dude? yeah? you like the wizzid?&#8221; So I guess I have to start paying attention to this band, too. (Their album <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pantsexploder.bandcamp.com\/album\/iii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">III<\/a><\/em> came out last year.) In the Bandcamp alert email about this split, Pink Mexico report that &#8220;g\u00f8d wishes he was here&#8221; is the first single from their upcoming LP, which is called <em>what movie ends like this<\/em> and which is coming out in spring on Sonic Rising. In any case, you should really hear both sides of this new split, and you can do that below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source stereogum.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pink Mexico come from Queens, and they make music that drifts prettily while still crunching hard.
