Ahead of new album Never Exhale out Friday, DITZ share new single ‘Four’. They also start their run of record in-stores this weekend, before their huge EU/UK taking place from next month.
On ‘Four’, singer C.A. Francis says “It’s one of the few songs we’ve ever done that was finished before we started playing it. We first jammed on it together in the back of a cafe in Worcester on the way back from a show up north. The place has a tiny room specially made for bands to practice in.”
They continue, “The lyrics refer to the commodification of queer culture. These big corporations are always trying to score points with the widest audience possible. Whether it’s drag queens advertising fast fashion or gay CEO’s, I see all of these people as sell outs. Do you think Divine would have advertised for H&M? Do you think Alan Turing would have been high up in some Silicon Valley tech company? Do you think James Baldwin would have written for Pink News? I doubt it. I think we should claim some dignity back. Then again, maybe I’m a cynic. Maybe it’s a sign of acceptance that queer people can be the villain rather than just some oppressed class. It just doesn’t sound like the kind of acceptance that I think is acceptable.”
