This is the second single from their highly anticipated album, "Time's Arrow," out in January.
“Misery Remember Me” was created as an ode to the human spirit against all odds. “We can try and try, but we’ll never escape who or what we are. And with that realization, we must embrace the now, but always allow ourselves to dream. “Misery Remember Me” encapsulates this ethos,” says the band of the song’s creation.
Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys was LIVE on KEXP in February 2018. Watch the full performance here: www.youtube.com
Laura Jane Grace explains:
"I wrote the majority of the record in St Augustine, in Florida where I recently moved to and just around the corner from my house there's this church and the front lawn is covered in these little white crosses, and behind them there's a piece of text saying each of the crosses is there to represent how many abortions occur in America every day. So the song is in essence a pro-choice song, and seeing those crosses everyday, I fantasized about smashing them down, or driving my car through them. I think there's something to be said for acts like that - it'd be very gratifying, but instead I play music and write about this stuff. That's why I say in the lyric, 'I wanna smash them all'."
Happy nth Birthdy to Keith Richards!

Fresh off the Spaceship is a new podcast from KEXP telling the story of the Black Constellation, an artist collective with Seattle roots and cosmic reach. It's a 10-part series, an invitation into the music and a journey through the feeling that the Black Constellation evokes. The Constellation is a creative convening of such innovative and varied musical acts as Shabazz Palaces (helmed by Ishmael Butler of Grammy-award winning trio Digable Planets), Stas THEE Boss (formerly of THEESatisfaction), Erik Blood, OCnotes, Porter Ray, JusMoni, and Ya Tseen. It also includes visual and literary artists Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes and Nep Sidhu. www.kexp.org
