LA-based post-punk band Agender just want to look good for the apocalypse with the release of their latest cheeky, punk-disco track “Things Things Things” out September 25. It’s a lighthearted commentary on consumerism and the band invites listeners to join them on a shopping trip with its accompanying self-directed official music video.
Watch here:
“Things Things Things” captures the bands’ distinctive, manic and unhinged energy that matches living in today’s world. Focusing on the harsh realities of struggles like materialism, buying to reach lasting fulfillment, with punchy lyrics like “things, things, things, a material girl, not a moralist/I know everything is bad, I just wanna look good for the apocalypse,” Agender brings a new dynamic to the modern day music landscape.
Being just one of the tracks released to be featured on their upcoming album, Berserk, out February 25, fans and new listeners anticipate a catchy, raw and unfiltered, genuine punk album. Charged with poignant lyricism combined with Agender’s distinguishable sound, the band is bringing the highest of energies to their forthcoming third studio album.
Frontman and vocalist Roy Hoffman says, “Berserk suits the times we live in, as well as the energy of the record. it’s a bit manic, unhinged, wild!” Inspired by other artists making spirited, action-packed music, Hoffman continues, “Some of the songs are short, like, a minute and a half, because I wanted to explore writing quick, punchy, short attention span songs, because I noticed that a lot of songs on albums that I like by young, mainly hip hop artists, are super short and do a lot in such little time.” Thematically, the music touches on queer love and heartbreak, aging, how some voids can only be filled spiritually.
