Dutch Interior release new single ‘Go Fuck Yourself‘ taken from their new EP It’s Glass, which will be released this Friday (6th) on Fat Possum. The band also today share a live session for the song, the first in a series – one for each track on the EP.
On the new single, the band say: “There’s a lot I love about LA and there’s a lot I hate about it. This song addresses the latter“
Watch the live session for Go Fuck Yourself (directed, edited & recorded by Dutch Interior, filmed by Bobby Anaya, mastered by Dainya Stevens)
On the sessions, the band say – “This is the first of 5 live video sessions recorded to a four track tape machine in and around Los Angeles over the weeks leading up to the release of our new EP “It’s Glass”.
It’s Glass is the first project we ever made in a proper recording studio (Hyde St) after having made albums cut to tape in garages, apartments, and home studios. It seemed the 5 songs on “It’s Glass” would fit the style well, so we arranged stripped back versions of each song and filmed the takes live as we recorded them with a Tascam 244. The full film will release the week following our EP.”
Whereas (previous LP) Moneyball was made within the confines of Dutch Interior’s self-built Long Beach Studio, It’s Glass was recorded at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, renowned for hosting the likes of Neil Young, the Grateful Dead, and Willie Nelson. Having access to a professional studio with a myriad of new gear allowed the band to forge ahead with new ideas without losing any of their endearing homespun quality. Access to an organ and grand piano broadened the technical horizons of their sound.
Songwriting boiled down to the band’s steadfast faith in their own personal connection, and the beauty that comes from unexpected moments in the studio, allowing many of the tracks to take on a shape of their own. “A lot of music recycles the same chords and melodic tendencies. It’s the emotion poured into these songs and the environment from which they are captured which makes them sound unique,” they comment. This amorphous quality of these “weird little songs,” as the band describes them, is what makes Dutch Interior special; the tracks can feel like a lofty exhale or a fragile manifestation.
