SeeYouSpaceCowboy have released a new single, “Red Wine And Discontent,” ahead of their forthcoming album Coup De Grace out April 19. Previous singles featured the tracks previous singles “To The Dance Floor For Shelter (ft. Courtney LaPlante),” “Respite For A Tragic Tale (ft. iRis.EXE),” “Silhouettes in Motion,” “Rhythm and Rapture (ft. nothing,nowhere.),” and “Chewing The Scenery.”
Frontwoman Connie Sgarossa states:
“This is a song that deals with what it means to be the dirty little secret in an affair and trying to come to terms with that notion while also being critical and wishing to be more. It’s a song that really pushes through in a frantic but melodic way to me.”
Sgarossa continues:
“The record started as a visual idea because when it came to lyrics, I didn’t know what the fuck to write at first. I’m not a drug addict junkie anymore, so I’m not going to write another album like ‘The Romance Of Affliction’—I can’t, and I don’t want to. So my mind wandered to things that I love, like Frank Miller’s ‘Sin City’ graphic novels, where there are all these stories interlaced within a city. That led me to think about noir and neo-noir, and then pulp comics and novels from the ’40s and ’50s, which started to make it all come together lyrically and thematically, where each different song can be a different tale of the city.”
“I hope that people can look at this as a complete expression—not just, ‘Oh, this song has a good breakdown,’ but at the whole story, the whole setting, the visuals of it all and the way the music all ties in. I hope they see the creativity of that and the risk we’ve taken by embedding Cowboy with more weirdo outside influences that you usually wouldn’t see from a band like us. It’s like a full, unified creative venture, and something we put a lot of work into, so I hope they appreciate the weirdness of it. I feel like a lot of times people hear clean singing and more melody from a heavy band and think they’re selling out. But no—We’re actually technically weirder on this record than we’ve ever been.”
