PISSED JEANS have premiered a new song called “Cathouse”, taken from their upcoming album “Honeys“, which is expected to arrive next month. Stream the track at this location.
Sub Pop records commented:
Age and four full-lengths havenโt mellowed Pissed Jeans; they can still unleash a blare that will exfoliate your cochlea. Formed in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Pissed Jeans released Shallow, their first album, in 2005 on Parts Unknown Records. The band relocated to Philadelphia seven years ago, and Sub Pop released Hope for Men in 2007, and then King of Jeans in 2009. The latter was recorded by Grammy nominee Alex Newport, who also recorded Honeys.
Age and experience have, however, refined Pissed Jeans. Their ideas and execution have become more subtly focused. The songs on Honeys are direct without being obtuse, evocative without being vague, personal without being indulgent. They also rock like nobodyโs business. Forget all the claptrap youโve heard about other bands delivering the goods. If you want bloodthirsty, youโve got itโฆ At times Honeys is the sound of being bashed over the head with a snow shovel. At times the band slows down and sounds like waking from a nightmare you canโt quite remember. The songs are catchy, but in a way that would appeal to mental patients who only understand colors.
Honeys stews on the kind of mundane, niggling things that keep you up late at night. Itโs an ode to the misery and shackles of being a responsible adult, and the shame of oneโs own narcissism. Pissed Jeans trucks in menacing songs about insecurity, and nobody has ever done it better.
Vinyl LP comes with a digital download code inside the sleeve.
If you pre-order Honeys, youโll receive a limited-edition bonus seven inch featuring Pissed Jeansโ long-lost original demos. Also, if you pre-order Honeys on LP, youโll receive the limited, colored-vinyl Loser Edition of the record. Both of these opportunities are a while-supplies-last opportunity, so act quickly.
Released: February 12, 2013
