In a couple of weeks, the Philadelphia-based musician and Friendship/Hour member Michael Cormier-O’Leary will launch his new album Anything Can Be Left Behind. Cormier-O’Leary recorded the LP with pals in a rented home in Westport, Massachusetts, and he says that his major inspirations have been Mary Margaret O’Hara and John Prine. We’ve already posted first single “Newest Oldest Punk,” and now Cormier-O’Leary has shared one other one.
The new music “Obtain” rides a kind of DIY indie-rock model of the basic ’90s trip-hop churn. Over the stark, propulsive backbeat, Michael Cormier-O’Leary sings about serving to somebody get their long-neglected childhood dwelling prepared on the market. The lyrics on this one are evocative, they usually’re particular: “No keys in the fake rock or underneath the mat/ Your mom changed the locks the time she caught your dad out with the girl from Auntie Anne’s.” Check it out beneath.
Anything Can Be Left Behind is out 5/5 by way of Dear Life Records. Pre-order it right here.
