THICK are back with “Doomer,” a new song about learning to let go of a Debbie Downer… even if you love them. Listen to the single below.
“I can’t make you get out of bed,” Nikki Sisti sings in the track. “I can’t make you get silly in your head/ I can’t make you wish you weren’t dead.” Though she could offer her partner comfort, “Doomer” suggests that doing so would only bring the singer-guitarist down with them.
“This song screams exhaustion,” Sisti said in a statement. “It’s about knowing what you could do for someone but being too burnt out to do. It’s the opposite of self-abandonment, it’s choosing to stop giving so much and hoping that the other person can find it within themselves to do the work and grow.”
The personnel credits behind “Doomer” scream modern pop-punk royalty. Will Yip (Mannequin Pussy, Turnstile) handled production, while the former band’s drummer Kaleen Reading lent a hand on percussion following the departure of THICK’s Shari Page. It marks the band’s first release since last year’s Happy Now.
