Hot Mulligan announce new album ‘Why Would I Watch’
HOT MULLIGAN have announced a new album!
Titled Why Would I Watch, the upcoming album from the American emo band is the follow-up to 2020’s You’ll Be Fine, and is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Wax Bodega.
On the upcoming album, the band intend to showcase a push and pull of puns and pathos that might seem diametrically opposed at first, but actually intersect to perfectly encapsulate life in a heavy, ADD-addled world. The band don’t consider these groundbreaking topics, opting for more measured and at times resigned realism to deal with the melancholia and malaise of life’s ups and downs. “No one who’s depressed is crying all the time,” vocalist Nathan ‘Tades’ Sanville says. “The media likes to portray deep depression as sadness, but most of the time it’s indifference. That works its way into alternative comedy and shitposting. The two cultures collide perfectly. The titles are the shitposts and the songs are what everyone in this position actually feels.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Shhh! Golf Is On. “Shhh! Golf Is On is about my mom. I’m asking her to die. Every time I hear about her, she’s a worse person than before,” says Tades on the song.
