Laura Jane Grace has shared a new song, the personal "Dysphoria Hoodie," her first new music since her solo At War With The Silverfish EP in 2021. The new song will appear on an upcoming studio album, still to be announced.
“This is a song about gender dysphoria and your favourite hooded sweatshirt,” Grace says. “Any trans person out there knows what a dysphoria hoodie is — it’s the hoodie you wear when feeling low and dysphoric and you don’t want the world reading your gender. Hide your body shape, hide your head, disappear as much as you can. Wrap yourself up in it like a blanket anywhere you go. Make your flesh become cotton. Instant protection from the outside world. My dysphoria hoodie happens to be an Adidas hoodie, so yes, this is in fact really just a tribute song to my favourite Adidas hoodie.”
Grace also has several lives dates to come, including at FEST 21 in Gainesville, FL on Oct. 29, followed by Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog Cruise from November 8-13.
