Slow Fiction - junior year
NYC’s Slow Fiction returns with “junior year,” the first single from the band’s debut album dollhouse
The NYC indie rock quintet Slow Fiction is back with its first new song since last spring. In the meantime, they signed with the new label Tight Knit and announced their debut album dollhouse, out August 7. “junior year” captures the band at full force: layered guitars, a relentless rhythm section, and singer Julia Vassallo’s cutting, restless lyrics driving the song forward.
Julia explains:
‘junior year’ looks at the perspectives of two types of people: the one who wants to commodify or sell, and the other who wants to rebel against that notion while feeling intensely stuck in this machine of objectification. We’ve all been made to feel small at one time or another, which just isn’t a very nice feeling. I’ve often had that ‘conversation hangover,’ where I spend loads of time afterwards, fantasizing over the perfect thing I could’ve said. I guess this was the easiest way to form a reply.
Slow Fiction is currently touring with Vundabar and will play Brooklyn’s Warsaw on June 19. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day on Apple Music, Spotify, or watch the video directed by Miles Wilson below. We send one carefully chosen song like this every day - subscribe here.
