After the recent announcement of their collaborative album Cherry Soda, Wavves and Say Anything are sharing new single “Still Alive”. The LP drops on September 18 via I Surrender Records. “Still Alive,” was written by Max Bemis and Nathan Williams and follows previous single “Deathx1k”.
Speaking on the origins of the new single, Williams recalls that “‘Still Alive’ was a random voice note I found in my phone. I recorded the initial melody and lyric in the bathroom at a dive bar called the Club Marina and then completely forgot about it for a few weeks. One day, a month or two later, I noticed the voice note and was like, ‘OH YEAH!’ After that, the full song came together in forty minutes. It was just one of those songs that had already written itself. God bless the Club Marina.”

The album, produced by Aaron Rubin (Blink 182), features ten new songs, co-written by Bemis and Williams

Speaking on the origins of his partnership with Bemis, Williams recalls that “He was Wavves adjacent. He’d been on tour with our drummer (Ross Traver) and our friend Justice Tripp (Angel Du$t). I’m a very curious person creatively, and somehow, Max told me he was a fan. After really digging into his catalog, I was kind of in shock. His records are really interesting. I wanted to see what an early 2000s Wavves emo record would sound like. That was the idea. To make a mall emo record.”

Bemis says “We kind of wrote to each other’s situations. We’re both very different people, but we get along really well. As writers, we pushed ourselves. He became more emo and I became more Wavves-y. I think we brought out some of the stuff that isn’t most obvious in each other. I may be singing stuff that sounds kind of bleak, but that’s kind of like Nate’s whole shtick, although he’s actually a very sweet, sensitive guy.”
