Cheekface have shared a new single called ‘Featured Singer’, out today via New Professor Records. Check it out below.
Speaking about the new song, the band’s Greg Katz explained in a statement:
One day, mid-pandemic, I was thinking about how hard it is for a band to reach people, especially in the middle of the pandemic, and my daydreaming led me to thinking about how much easier it would be if I just did an uncredited featured vocal on an EDM song by a famous DJ, and that song became super famous without me having to do anything other than sing into a microphone. Like, I could be that faceless voice! I wouldn’t even have to do anything! I started laughing at myself for this stupid wish, and writing a little poem about it. A few days later, Mandy sent me this nasty bass-line over email and I just started reciting the poem over it. And so there was this song, about warehouse raves and frat parties, written via email, made at a time when there were no warehouse raves or frat parties.
Cheekface released their sophomore LP, Emphatically No., in January 2021. Earlier this year, they shared the track ‘We Need a Bigger Dumpster’.
