The Paranoyds kündigen mit der Single „Girlfriend Degree“ ihr Debütalbum „Carnage Bargain“ an
The Paranoyds haben mit dem Video zur Single „Girlfriend Degree“ ihr Debütalbum angekündigt: „Carnage Bargain“ wird Mitte September über Suicide Squeeze erscheinen.
Mit „Carnage Bargain“ liefert das Quartett aus Los Angeles eine raue Mischung aus Garagerock, New Wave, klassischen Horrorfilm-Soundtrack und eine Vielzahl anderer Einflüsse. Die Single „Girlfriend Degree“ ist bereits online – ein Mid-Tempo-Klopfer aus Mitklatsch-Rhythmen, Fuzz-Gitarren und Schlacht-Gesängen, der die Mission der Band, immer den Status Quo abzulehnen, deutlich macht. Das Video wurde von Ambar Navarro gedreht.
Die Band kommentiert den Track wie folgt: „The Song is a call to arms, a reminder to be a supremely self-loving woman, to just do you. There’s all this pressure about being “the ideal woman,” and it’s easy to get caught up in that—to spend your time trying to be all these things that others think you should be. Getting a “girlfriend degree” is about settling, selling oneself short and not believing in yourself—valuing your partner’s beliefs or opinions over your own. It’s cool to be a girlfriend or wife or whatever, but there’s so much more to being a woman than that. This desire to be above that is also somewhat a telling of how our band came to be. We were all going to a bunch of shows and obviously having a great time and it took us a bit for us to realize that we could also make and perform our own music….and that nothing was preventing us from doing that besides ourselves. We all have power and we should use that power to exercise our own agency.“
