Little Low, a little indie-punk band out of Boston, has shared the single "Dark Beer Archives," the first single from the forthcoming new album, Sunshine Guilt. The new record comes out on May 9 via joint release from Sell The Heart Records (U.S.), Thousand Island Records (Canada), and Waterslide Records (Japan).
The emo-influenced band includes Christine Atturio (Save Ends), Mike Assatly (Beartrap), plus Tom Ciesluk and Brad Rheault (both of Save Ends and No Trigger). Sunshine Guilt is their first album and was recorded by Trevor Reilly at Anchor End.
“This song is about learning the hard way that when it comes to drinking there is a fine line between things being fun and things getting out of control,” Atturio says of the new single. “I’m always trying to find a balance in life, and it remains a constant struggle. But what I eventually realized was that at the end of the day, it’s always going to be on me. I can be my own best friend or my own worst enemy.”
To bring things full Boston, Atturio adds, “The line ‘never kept my elbow straight for long’ was inspired by a scene in the pilot episode of Cheers where the bar owner Sam Malone explains why he lost his career as a professional baseball player due to alcoholism. ‘I had an elbow problem…. I bent it too much.'”
