Atlanta’s finest noise merchants Upchuck are back, and they’ve never sounded filthier or funkier. New Case, the latest track from their Ty Segall–produced album I’m Nice Now, is a swaggering riot of bassline sleaze, KT’s snarl, and the kind of grit you can taste.
It opens like a street fight scored by Quincy Jones, all groove and threat. KT’s delivery is razor-sharp but danceable.
The accompanying claymation video by Cissi Efraimsson is an inspired mess — grotesque, hilarious, and oddly beautiful.
Upchuck are currently tearing through their US tour before hitting the UK next month.
