Seattle punks Tacocat are a local institution in their hometown. They’ve been around for more than a decade now, and members of the band also play in area supergroups like Who Is She? and Childbirth. They also did the theme song for the recent Powerpuff Girls reboot. And now Tacocat announce that they’ll soon follow up their last album, 2016’s Lost Time, with a new one called This Mess Is A Place.

By way of announcing the album, Tacocat have also shared a video for its first single, the bright and jangly “Grains Of Salt.” Director Claire Buss films the band members performing in a bright, sparkly room alongside some drag performers from Seattle. It makes for a striking, colorful video that immediately stands out from the kind of stuff we see from Tacocat’s indie rock peers.

Talking about “Grains Of Salt,” bandleader Emily Nokes says, “This song is for roller skating, friendship, self friendship, yes and no doubt, turning it off, running up and down that hill, leaving gross stuff behind, landing the backflip, imposter syndrome, being your own genie, and remembering who the fuck you are.” Below, watch the video and check out the new album’s tracklist and the band’s tour dates.
