Guerilla Toss Drop “Red Flag to Angry Bull” Video — New Album You’re Weird Now Out Sept. 12 via Sub Pop
Guerilla Toss are back with another brain-bending banger. Their latest single “Red Flag to Angry Bull” just got a wild new animated video, and it’s as weird and wonderful as you’d hope. The song builds up to a bonkers campfire-style sing-along featuring a back-and-forth vocal from Kassie Carlson and Stephen Malkmus, all while Trey Anastasio melts faces with a breezy, jammed-out solo that could only come from that guy. Yep — Pavement and Phish collide here in glorious fashion, and somehow it totally works.
The track follows “Psychosis Is Just a Number,” a glittery slice of skronked-out post-punk that sounds like Pylon in a pep rally with The Contortions. These songs set the tone for You’re Weird Now, the band’s fifth full-length and second for Sub Pop, landing September 12. This record is all about reclaiming the word weird — not as a label, but as a lifestyle. It’s a vibrant, fearless celebration of making art without second-guessing or smoothing out the edges.
Recorded at Trey Anastasio’s studio, The Barn in Vermont, You’re Weird Now was produced by Stephen Malkmus, with longtime collaborators Bryce Goggin and Ben Collette helping behind the boards. And yes, those sessions involved something called “punk lunch,” where everyone — legends included — just raided the fridge and made whatever sandwich chaos they could dream up.
If you’ve ever felt torn between DIY noise shows and noodle-heavy jam sets, Guerilla Toss are the bridge. They’re the band for wooks, punks, weirdos, and wanderers — where genre doesn’t matter and everything is fair game.
Pre-order You’re Weird Now now (including limited yellow and bright blue LPs) and get weird with it. You can find a copy at the Sub Pop Mega Mart (North America) and Bright Blue via the Mega Mart 2 (UK/EU), and your local record store.
