Our new song “The Whale” is out now. ‘Unfindable Ring’ out 10/23.

What started with a few decent punchlines later informed an earnest, heartfelt sentiment, which I think Heaven and I both grapple with a lot. Namely, the feeling that nothing ever gives; that one step somehow sets you back two; that the change keeps getting shorter—a dark “shrinkflation” of the soul, so to speak. But also realizing that despite so many of our systems and institutions feeling increasingly stacked against us, and despite the instability and anxiety we face about our futures, we are, ultimately, the arbiters of our own value and joy.

Our album Unfindable Ring comes out October 23rd on Bayonet Records. Today our song OBL is out alongside a music video made by @alexteppermakesthings

This song is about us being a band full of trans people on tour and the tenderness and joy we experience between us despite how strangers respond to our presence. This song is an ode to the most important people in my life, my best friends, my band mates Austin, Lane, Diego, Ellie and Anya.

Pre-order the vinyl and cd now on bayonet records.com
We’ve also stocked more of the classic Grumpy shirt!

Grumpy (@grumpyismyleastfavoriteband), the six-piece band led by Zach Bryan collaborator Heaven Schmitt, move between electronica, alt-rock and folk with ease on their new album ‘Unfindable Ring’. They tell NME about how the trans experience informs their music – and why forming a band largely out of your exes isn’t so bad. Read the full story at the link in bio⁣

next up in my series of BEHIND THE RING .. a behind the scenes look at how the sausage is made so to speak. this week is “The Whale” ft D.A. Crimson. the track is doing great, and even was written out in the guardian ( pic by @michaeltyronedelaney ) ! I even made a time lapse of the rough drafts and edits this time (slide 9). Early sketches for this one were inspired by concept art for walt disney’s pinocchio, where we’d put heaven and diego in a boat inside of a whale amongst piles of junk. When the cover art concept for OBL started to solidify as the image of the band in an intertube on the sea we decided it would be too much boat stuff to have both those two designs, so we pivoted to what I think was one of my first concepts for the record cover, a sky full of flying keys and Heaven with some binoculars by a seaside lighthouse. we tried a few different shots of diego, but the best one was a pic of them smoking from the BTS of our video for “bird parts” (also worth checking out). inspirations for the work (as well as the creative direction of the overall single and vinyl art) include the flying monkeys from MGM’s Wizard of Oz, Frank L. Baum’s original Oz illustrator W.W. Denslow, Terry Gilliam’s cutout art (also see the glutton in the video played by Austin our drummer) as well as his excessive use of fish-eye lens & absurdism & high saturation, the artist behind goosebumps Tim Jacobus, and iSpy Treasure Hunt, both the book and the 2001 computer game. and because i have been getting this question here and there, NO I do not use generative AI to make these! im an old school digital collage artist and i have been practicing that since i was like 8 years old. Everything you see in the cover is built from pictures i took or hand drew. thanks for all the love on these BTS posts, it’s been really fun to talk about this stuff with everyone and there’s clearly a hunger for this kind of large scope integrative creativity. make your dreams come true, fools!!!! > : ) taken in The Lighthouse by @grumpyismyleastfavoriteband
