Though currently disbanded, Two Inch Astronaut has a new recording featuring two brand new songs.
The band is currently celebrating the tenth anniversary of Foulbrood and, to mark the occasion, the trio returned to the studio to record previously written but never recorded tracks, with producer J. Robbins at the helm. Robbins recorded the band's last two albums, Can You Please Not Help and Personal Life.
The new single is called "Check Please / Humorist," out on November 12 via Exploding in Sound Records.
Sam Goblin shares of the new songs:
We wrote these two songs in 2018 right before we made the decision to take a break from the band. As the ten year anniversary of Foulbrood loomed, we thought it'd be cool to do something slightly less backward looking than a reissue or reunion, so we reworked these two more recent tunes and finally got around to recording them. We all live in different places now and more than anything it was just great to have an excuse to be together again (and to hang with J Robbins).
Both of the songs are about the solipsism of pursuing anything creative, but the experience of recording them was a nice reminder of how many great times and irreplaceable friendships came from doing this silly thing, so can't be all bad.
