“Complicated” by The Sewing Club

Ahead of the release of their new album Sew, the Sewing Club have shared the single “Complicated.” Sew drops on September 15 via Born Losers Records (Goon, Anthony Green). The band will be Touring behind Sew, starting off on September 26 in New York City.

From The Sewing Club: Complicated” probably changed more than any other song on the record. We wrapped it up while touring with Chokecherry, sending tracks from our Boston green room to Aron Kobayashi who mixed the song. My boyfriend was in rehab at the time, and this song was written in the midst of that. It’s truly just about wanting to fix something for someone that you can’t, it’s complicated.

On Sew, we’re chasing the feeling of being twenty-something and watching our lives quietly rearrange themselves. Friendships drift. Relationships end. The people you thought you’d know forever slowly become strangers, while everything else moves faster than you can keep up with.

Written between home and the road and recorded with our longtime friend Calvin Lauber, we tried our best to never really smooth jagged edges over on the record. The songs lean into blown-out guitars, hooks that stick around (hopefully), and enough fuzz to blur the line between nostalgia and something entirely new. Inspired by bands like Veruca Salt, The Breeders, Wishy, Punchlove, and Slow Pulp, etc. the record has a feeling of being equally at home in a basement show or blasting through blown speakers on a summer drive.

Rather than chasing a perfect debut, we made the record we wanted to hear. Sew is less a statement than a snapshot, it’s a band catching itself in the middle of becoming.
