Joyce Manor have shared the opening track of their upcoming seventh album.
I Know Where Mark Chen Lives is a full-throttle introduction to 'I Used To Go To This Bar', due out on January 30 via Epitaph Records. It arrives with a black and white performance video directed by Jason Link and Rowan Daly. Vocalist-guitarist Barry Johnson explained:
"Mark Chen was a singer and songwriter for the bands Summer Vacation and Winter Break, which didn't get quite as popular as they deserved to. I just love Mark's songwriting and voice. Lyrically, the song was inspired by Chase and I hanging out, drinking and smoking weed and laughing about stuff, and we were talking about how when weed clubs first started, they’d give you a free dab and the budtender would do a dab with you.
"Dabs are insanely gnarly. I was cracking myself up imagining some 19-year-old girl that just did her third dab of the hour before getting robbed at gunpoint, because they’d always get robbed as cash businesses. That's the imagery of the song: Those early days when weed was still not super fully legal. It was like the Wild West, a little bit. And yeah, that just gave me a chuckle because it's really dark and brutal."
Produced by punk icon, Bad Religion guitarist and Epitaph owner Brett Gurewitz, the follow-up to 2022's '40 Oz. To Fresno' will also include the California trio's autumn single Well, Whatever It Was and summer single All My Friends Are So Depressed.
The band will support the LP with a North American tour in the spring, featuring support from Militarie Gun, Teen Mortgage and Combat. Tickets are on sale now.
