Bacchae release new song “Dead Man”: Listen

Later this week, ultra-catchy DC post-punk band Bacchae will release their new album Next time. I heard it and it’s great. Bacchae have already released the singles “Cooler Talk,” “Just A Rat,” and the title track. Today they also released “Dead Man,” a playfully bubbly power-pop jam about how your job is slowly killing you. Here’s what they say about the track:

This song is for anyone who spends the majority of their time in a mind-numbing office job. You clock in each day hoping that “soon” you’ll get the raise your boss promised you. Months go by and “soon” never comes. The neon light above your desk flickers and the relentless glow of your screen makes your eyes twitch. You dream of leaving and never coming back. You wanted much more than that. Quitting is not an option. Expenses are piling up: rent is due, you need groceries, and your ever-growing list of medications is backlogged. You need a break. Just as you’re thinking about requesting time off for the first time in 5 years, the boss calls to tell you your position has been eliminated, effective immediately.

Check it out below.

Next time will be released on July 5th on Get Better Records.
