Brooklyn garage rock group Le Big Zero have dropped another track from their upcoming album A Proper Mess.

Released today, “Coda” was originally written for vocalist Michael Pasuit’s old band X-Ray Press. Pasuit further explains the new song:

“It was a song that we wrote earlier in our existence as a band, but never found a home on an album or even in a live set. Yet it always had such potential. Through the Le BIg Zero lens, we changed the meter from 7/8 to 4/4 at the start of the song so the vocal harmonies could take a more commanding presence. The punkier middle section was written specifically for Le Big Zero as to ground it in the type of rock we do (as opposed to XRP's aggressive, super-weird math rock approach). We'd like to lay claim to that ending guitar riff, but it was written by X-Ray Press' guitarist Paurl Walsh, currently a producer and sound engineer in Seattle.”

An accompanying music video for the track, which can be seen below, was directed by Jeanette D Moses, who worked on Le Big Zero’s video for “Horror Movie Pie Fight.” Moses said this about working on this new video:

“With “Coda” we were looking to create a live band concept that didn't take place in a traditional venue and had a bit of a playful vibe. The creative process for the video was pretty collaborative with Michael and I sharing ideas back and forth before landing on the final concept of Le Big Zero playing their hearts out for an underwhelmed kid. Ultimately we were looking for a way to showcase all the members of the band and their live energy, while also poking fun at the way an audience sometimes seems completely apathetic to the cool thing happening in front of them.”

A Proper Mess, which arrives on April 8 via Know Hope Records, can be pre-ordered here.
