The track, which features Waxahatchee’s Katie Crutchfield and the Magnetic Fields’ Stephin Merritt, is lifted from their new album, ‘What a Time To Be Alive’. Mac McCaughan said (via Billboard):
"The song Erasure is about the desire and attempt, on the part of the old white men currently running this country [the USA], to erase the experience, history, and existence of entire groups of people who don’t look or think like them. They want a straight white America which does not and has never existed, but they hope to make it so.
“When director Whitey McConnaughy heard the song and started thinking about video ideas, he heard another angle, which is also a theme of our album: given today’s anxiety-inducing, creeping authoritarianism, how do we get through each day when we feel like we’re losing our minds?"
