TACOCAT
– SHARE NEW VIDEO ‘I HATE THE WEEKEND’
– ALBUM ‘LOST TIME’ OUT APRIL 1ST VIA HARDLY ART RECORDS
– UK TOUR THIS MAY
Seattle’s Tacocat unveil their colourful new video for ‘I Hate The Weekend’ from their new album ‘Lost Time’, due April 1st via Hardly Art.
Director Jessica Aceti’s clip features the band performing at a crazy candy-crazed house party in what may well be Hardly Art’s first ever video with a credited pyrotechnics expert.
One of the weirdest things humans do is to classify half of all humans as niche. As though women’s shit isn’t real shit—as though menses and horses and being internet-harassed aren’t as interesting as beer-farts and monster trucks and doing the harassing. That’s why Tacocat is radical: not because a female-driven band is some baffling novelty, but because they’re a group making art about experiences in which gender is both foregrounded and neutralized. This isn’t lady stuff, it’s people stuff. It’s normal. It’s nothing and everything. It’s life.
Tacocat’s third studio album, ‘Lost Time’ (an X-Files reference, doy), is their first with producer Erik Blood. “I would describe him generally as a beautiful wizard,” Nokes said, “who, in our opinion, took the album to the next level. Wizard level.” Blood’s sounds are wide and expansive, bringing a fullness to the band’s familiar sparkling snarl. The Tacocat of Lost Time are triumphantly youthful but also plainspoken and wise, as catchy as they are substantive.
Lost Time will be out on LP, CD, digital, and cassette formats on April 1st, 2016.
