Quasi – “You Can Stay But You Got To Go”
Sam Coomes used to be Elliott Smith’s bandmate in Heatmiser. Janet Weiss is arguably the world’s greatest drummer; she’s been in Sleater-Kinney, Wild Flag, Stephen Malkmus’s Jicks, and a heap of other bands. Coomes and Weiss were briefly married to each other, and they’ve spent nearly 20 years in a different sort of partnership, making up the two halves of the intermittently active, endlessly sharp indie rock duo Quasi. This fall, the duo will release Mole City, a massive 24-song double-album. Its first single is called “You Can Stay But You Got To Go,” and it’s a fuzzy unraveling sweater of a song, one that perpetually seems like it’s about to fall apart. Download it and check out the album’s tracklist below.

Mole City is out 10/1 on Kill Rock Stars. Here’s hoping “R.I.P.” is a Young Jeezy cover.
