There’s always a resurgence of Good Country and Americana when the USofA is in turbulent times. Lines are drawn, and Bad Country will focus on tired, conservative issues (in some cases, siding with literal baddies and idiots, becoming Cringe Edgelords: The Musical), giving the good heads something to kick against.
We’ve had a ’70s country rocker from Illumanti Hotties, Bonnie Prince Billy returned, Petal gave us some stadium sized Americana, and Honey Gentry gave us a sweet, ghostly version of the country ballad to sink into, and now, some great boingy country rock from Ratboy.
The track is called ‘Morning Zoo’ and comes from their forthcoming LP ‘The Window’. We hear it’s hotly anticipated, but as this is the first we’ve heard of them, we’ll just say that we really like this track and if the album is anything like it, then we might get some bootcut jeans and a belt with a big buckle on it.
Wonderful stuff. If this all flourishes into a new wave of country rock from good, kind people, we’re all for it. Kacey Musgraves can’t be far away from a new LP, right?
