Straddling that evergray-ish line between punk, indie, and power pop, Onesie has sent a save the date for their new album, Way Thousand Bump To The Sky, coming out June 18 on Sell The Heart Records.
The band shared "Meetcha At Minnies (The Captain's Song)" earlier this year, and now gives us "Twilight Years" from the upcoming record -- the Brooklyn, NY band's fourth overall.
“My father passed after a slow, horrible cancer in March 2023. The end months were rough. My mother was able to be his primary caretaker, but it took a huge toll on her," guitarist/vocaliist singer Ben Haberland says of the song. "My grief really had nowhere to go, so it wound up here. Having had my own kid in recent years, I found myself often reliving my own experience as a child whilst parenting. He didn’t have a big service nor is there a grave to visit, so writing the lyrics for this song kind of served that function. I made sure to pepper it with more playful elements to not make it a boring funeral dirge. This is probably the only song lamenting a paternal death that mentions Salacious Crumb and Family Feud. Can you find the Beatles nod too?”
