Joyce Manor has released a new track titled 'All My Friends Are So Depressed,' produced by Brett Gurewitz. This marks the band's first original song since their 2022 release and features a video directed by Barry Johnson and Jaxon Whittington. Frontman Johnson described the inspiration for the song's lyrics, mentioning a specific Tecate truck that sparked his creativity. The lyrical theme contrasts 50s Americana with more gritty elements, highlighting a mix of influences from various artists. The band is set for a European tour with multiple supporting acts.
"The first line I came up with for this song was 'Lord above in a Tecate truck' after passing a Tecate delivery truck with Jesus shit all over it on the freeway driving back to Long Beach after a show in Fresno."
"While searching for a line that rhymed with 'Lord above in a Tecate truck' I came up with 'Why even exist? Who gives a fuck!?' and the concept of 'All My Friends Are So Depressed' was born."
"It's kind of my take on what I imagine Lana Del Rey lyrics are like. Instead of icy, detached, cool '50s Americana, it's all dirty shag carpet, bong rips, Peter Frampton Comes Alive, and suicidal ideations."
"Musically, we were drawing from the Libertines, Tiger Army, X, and the Smiths... obviously."
