PUP have collaborated with Jeff Rosenstock for their brand-new single ‘Get Dumber’.
The new track is the third cut from their forthcoming fifth LP, ‘Who Will Look After The Dogs?’, which arrives via Little Dipper / Rise Records on May 02.
Previous PUP releases ‘Paranoid’ and ‘Hallways’ also form part of the 12-track project.
Listen to new track ‘Get Dumber’ via its playful animated video below.
Speaking about the album and its creation, the band’s frontman Stefan Babcock has said:
“Within days of announcing our last album, coincidentally titled ‘The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND’, my life unexpectedly imploded. I wrote the lyrics for ‘Hallways’ while all that was going on. It was a weird fucking week.”
“The title of our new record, ‘Who Will Look After The Dogs?’, is what I wrote at the top of the page, the very first thing written for this album.
“I think it’s devastating, but in a ‘holy shit this is overdramatic’ kinda way. At least in context of the line that comes before it. That’s what makes it funny to us. That overblown stuff we all say in our dark moments can be hilarious once you’ve cooled off a bit.
“I don’t know if anyone else thinks it’s funny, but sometimes you gotta laugh at yourself. It’s the only way out of the abyss. Trust me.”
