Fast Romantics Release “Fuck Yourself” And Announce New Album, Happiness + Euphoria
Fast Romantics dive into a censorship field day with the rousing, anthemic, stadium sing-along next single/video for “Fuck Yourself.”
“Every Fast Romantics record has some kind of anthem on it,” notes lead singer and songwriter Matthew Angus. “and I think ‘Fuck Yourself’ is that song this time around. This started out as a song about a very specific person, but as I wrote, it kept shapeshifting into being about a whole spectrum of human dumpster fires. By the end — as so often happens — the target turned out to be myself. Now that it’s finished, your guess is as good as mine as to who it’s really about, but it feels really fucking good to sing and that’s all that matters to me.”
With a genius *bleeped* radio edit, and a complete head-scratcher of a video, this could just be the curse-filled song of the summer we have been waiting for and weren’t even sure we needed, but do we ever…
“The video is this really beautiful fever dream cooked up by our dear friend and talented director Ryan Thompson. We fell in love with his idea and he just ran with it. I guess you could say it’s like Full House meets Battlestar Galactica meets The Trueman Show. But yeah, I can’t get over the way it elevates the song. Ryan really got the tune and told a hilariously dark and weirdly deep story. We couldn’t be more in love with it.”
