<\/div>\n

Indie rock stalwarts Sebadoh<\/a> offer an alternative to anxiety on their new song, \u201cCelebrate the Void,\u201d which will appear on their first album in six years, Act Surprised<\/em>, out May 24th via Dangerbird Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cCelebrate the Void\u201d begins as a brooding head-nodder marked by plodding drums and warbling guitar licks that turn into a heavy crunch when the chorus hits. Halfway through, however, the track gathers steam and transforms into a blistering rocker that wraps with the unexpected rallying cry, \u201cEmpty my my\/Celebrate the void.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Sebadoh frontman Lou Barlow quipped that the track\u2019s first line \u2013 \u201cI get the feeling you don\u2019t feel me\u201d \u2013\u00a0<\/span> could be a line in an Ariana Grande track. \u201cI followed it from there through some general complaints about a composite character in my life, someone I could never crack,\u201d he continued. \u201cSometimes the walls are too high. If you think about it, the resistance was always there, even in the very beginning. What to do? Pick endlessly at the seams? Replay moments in my head looking for a way to explain it all? No, stop, there is no one answer and that\u2019s OK\u2026 Celebrate the void.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sebadoh recorded Act Surprised<\/em> in Western Massachusetts with producer Justin Pizzoferatto. The record marks the trio\u2019s first since 2013\u2019s Defend Yourself<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sebadoh will embark on a North American tour in support of Act Surprised<\/em> this spring. The first leg launches May 22nd in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and wraps June 22nd in Boston, Massachusettes. The second kicks off July 11th in Montreal, Canada and ends July 27th in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Eleanor Friedberger will serve as support during the second half of the tour.<\/p>\n
