Last month, Lowertown released "Worst Friend," the third (and best?) single from their upcoming album Ugly Duckling Union. Now, they're back with one final preview before the record release this Friday. It's called "Mice Protection," and it serves as the opener.
"The first song written for Ugly Duckling Union, the song starts with an exhale," the band explains, continuing:
After 2 years of extensive touring and emotional turmoil moving out of our childhoods houses in Atlanta, we had to reevaluate our relationship within music and the band. Mice protection was the first time back in a basement studio and the first time we realized we knew the direction for the new album. We called the song "Mice Protection" to pay homage to Avsha’s rat infested house that all of Ugly Duckling Union was recorded in. Its lyrics are an introduction to some of the core themes of the album like the ambiguity of right and wrong, reality in the scope of different perspectives, and the darkness and light that exists and within an individual.
When an album was recorded in a rat-infested house, you know it's gonna be good. This is a well-known fact. Hear "Mice Protection" below.
Ugly Duckling Union is out 5/22 via Summer Shade.
