Last fall lo-fi electro Olympia/Brooklyn act The Blow released a sweet track titled “Think About Me” which we’ve now learned will be on their upcoming new album, titled Brand New Abyss. The duo (made-up of Melissa Dyne & Khaela Maricich) are releasing the new album through a PledgeMusic campaign and have shared a new track titled “Get Up” which is a fun and danceable track about crushing capitalism. As Maricich explained in a press release…
“Get Up” started with a crazy sound that Melissa made on the modular synth, and the chorus just popped out of my mouth like something I’d been needing to be able to say for a long time without knowing it. It was like how you write a love song so easily when your heart is being crushed- with this it’s the feeling of my whole spirit being crushed by extreme capitalism, like everything I used to love got demolished and replaced by a glossy new bank. Then in recent months it was like, yeah, having an intense rap about how it’s all just too much right now feels pretty right.
