Speedy Ortiz have shared a fourth single from their upcoming album.
Following Scabs, You S02 and Plus One, Ghostwriter serves as the latest preview of 'Rabbit Rabbit', due out on September 1 via Wax Nine.
Already a live favourite, the energetic indie-rock track arrives with an Alex Ross Perry-directed video packed with cameos from a wide range of entertainers, including comedians Josh Gondelman and Emily Panic, musicians Ted Leo, Spencer Peppet, Nicola Leel, Kate Meizner, Zoë Brecher, authors Rax King, Amy Rose Spiegel, and merritt k, and New York cartoon artist Jason Adam Katzenstein. Dupuis commented:
"While Ghostwriter ruminates on the horrible realities that stoke my anger—in this song’s case, the death of our climate and the criminalization of environmental protesters—it’s also about trying to live with less rage in the day-to-day. And not always succeeding, but not getting mad about that, either. And sometimes directing that angry adrenaline toward positive actions.
"My bandmates picked Ghostwriter as a single, perhaps because it subtly nods to our unabashed love of nu metal. It was really fun to reunite with Alex Ross Perry after shooting together for his Pavement movie last fall, especially the part where we subjected him to so very many Deftones and Limp Bizkit videos for inspiration. The great Josh Gondelman improvised at least a dozen good “nu metal cover band” pun names for the intro, which made it hard to keep a straight face as our nu metal performance 'Pleasantville'-ifies our crowd of friends into the most immaculate Hot Topic c. 2003 getups."
The Philadelphia-based band will embark on an extensive North American tour in September. Tickets are on sale.
