Wolfie's Just Fine, which is the musical project of comedian Jon Lajoie, will unveil their new album this June.

Announced today, Everyone Is Dead Except Us will be released on June 16th via Normal Guy Records. The 10-track album was recorded in Nashville with producer Jordan Lehning (Caitlin Rose, Andrew Combs). Lajoie has unveiled the title track from the album, which comes with a music video they directed. The musician/comedian said this about the new song:

“This song started as a title that came to me a few years ago. There were no other lyrics, no music, just a few simple words that seemed to sum up a lot for me at the time: everyone is dead except us. I also somehow knew this would be the title of my next Wolfie’s Just Fine album. Over the following months/years, every now and again I’d jot some lyrics down on my morning walks, never overthinking it.

I’m not sure when it happened, but sometime in early 2021, I had a complete song. What I couldn’t have anticipated, was that in May of 2021, my father would be diagnosed with a terminal illness, and that over the next six months we would slowly, lovingly, painfully, beautifully, and heartbreakingly say our goodbyes. He passed away on January 4th, 2022. This song may sound dark to some, but for me, it is a celebration of life, a song of gratitude. Everyone is dead, the only people who aren’t dead, are those of us who are currently alive. And eventually (and inevitably) we will join them, and then, others after us will be the ones who are alive, and so on.

I remember reading a way more eloquent and sophisticated version of this in a book on Taoism in my early twenties (because, you know, college). This thought somehow felt, and feels very comforting to me, and forces me to recognize how insanely lucky I am to be one of the alive people on earth in this moment.”

“Everyone Is Dead Except Us” is available on digital services right now.
