Grumpy Announce New Album Unfindable Ring: Hear “OBL”
Earlier this year, Stereogum faves Grumpy returned with the grungy, glitchy anthem " Twenty Five ." But guess what! That tune comes from a new album called Unfindable Ring , which they're announcing today. The second single, "OBL," is here, and it's an alt-country banger. The post Grumpy Announce New Album Unfindable Ring : Hear “OBL” appeared first on Stereogum .
Grumpy, the popular indie band, has announced their new album Unfindable Ring, featuring the single "OBL." The album follows their previous hit Twenty Five, which was released earlier this year. Grumpy, originally a solo project of Heaven Schmitt, has expanded to include Anya Good, Ellie Long, Austin Arnold, Diego Clare, and Lane Rodgers.
In "OBL," Schmitt reflects on the band's experience touring as a trans-led group. She notes that they often worry about being accepted, but instead, they find love and support from each other. The song's lyrics address the fear that some may not want their existence, but the band remains joyful and resilient in the face of potential hostility.
The video for "OBL," directed by Alex Tepper, features Schmitt playing the role of a mysterious figure lurking and staring at the band members, many of whom are trans. The character's presence is seemingly accidental but represents the band's ongoing struggle to navigate societal reactions and maintain their happiness amidst possible judgment. Unfindable Ring will be released on October 23 via Bayonet Records.
