Perched atop a hill overlooking Dayton, Ohio with fruity mixed drinks in hand, Two Houses heard the line sail out of their dear, departed friend Anton’s living room stereo via James Brown: “I feel so good I can’t stand myself!” It could have been any of the Godfather’s enigmatic ad libs that punctured their cocktail hour and named their record before it was written, but that one captured the kind of ambivalent, blissed out misery known only to true soldiers of the rock n’ roll lifestyle. I Feel So Good I Can’t Stand Myself is an examination of what it means to look around, realize that you’re living your childhood dream of touring the country in a blaze of guitar glory and find that it’s not enough. You’re still a sad bastard with the Fear gaining in the rear-view. What do you do? You keep driving, that’s what—as fast as you can.
We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Two Houses’ new song “The Fear” (listen below). The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album I Feel So Good I Can’t Stand Myself, which is being released through Rad Girlfriend Records on orange and black vinyl. You can grab a pre-order here.
