Teenanger release new single "Trillium Song"
Toronto post-punk group Teenanger have unveiled their new single “Trillium Song” today.
The track revolves around the current coronavirus situation in Ontario. In a statement, vocalist Chris Swimmings said:
"This song is about the province of Ontario where we all reside. Mainly about the current provincial government’s way of dealing with the education system and the environment. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Premier Doug Ford (the song’s primary subject) was making good headway at polishing his public image by being hands-on. He made promises of people not losing their jobs and tenants not being evicted. They were timely promises in the beginning as we are now seeing many tenants in Ontario face eviction due to not being able to make end’s meet in the pandemic.”
For the song’s chorus, Teenanger use the Ontario slogans“Yours To Discover” and “Keep it Beautiful.” The new tune can be heard below.
The track stems from the band’s forthcoming studio album Good Time, which will be released on October 2 via Telephone Explosion Records. Pre-orders for the record can be made here.
