Out today! “You’re A Man,” a b-side off of ’s “Vital Return.” Catch BB on the road w/ starting tonight.
Wallace: “I think Tim once called this our ‘winkiest’ song and that’s really the perfect way to describe it. While trying to come up with a vocal melody, Tim just started jokingly singing ‘you’re a man, congratulations, such decent being, with education.’
The two of us wrote the rest of the lyrics separately and then put it all together (which is where the call and response comes in). The song is deeply sarcastic but if any men are actually offended, they’re the ones we wrote it for. To all the men who came to the foot of the stage to approve my use of pedals, this Buds for you.”
Tim: “My intent with my ‘character’ in the song was to embody a particularly defensive, entitled man becoming more and more flustered in response to Wallace’s deadpan sarcasm. I will say that I, in part, am representing a punched-up version of behavior and attitude I’ve noticed even in a younger version of myself. Hopefully that guy stays in the past.”
