Feeble Little Horse have shared another sample of their upcoming album Girl with Fish with today’s new single “Steamroller.”
“Steamroller” is an expectedly piercing dose of the Pittsburgh band’s off-kilter noise-pop, beginning with a cacophony of feedback that bassist Sebastian Kinsler captured on an iPhone. The track then morphs into more shoegaze-inspired rock, complete with a rare guitar solo and a few synth embellishments.
The band’s vocalist and lyricist Lydia Slocum describes “Steamroller” as a song about shame, and her “most embarrassing song to sing.” The song is full of dark and vivid imagery that seems to find its narrator at the breaking point in a parasitic relationship: “Threw the towel in/ I’m tired of baking/ I’m the only one/ Who sees me naked,” Slocum broods in some particularly memorable lines during the chorus. “I can’t carry the weight/ Of feeling stained/ From when my knuckles hit/ The sidewalk today.”
