Accidental Weller

Don’t get fooled by the angry riffs in Run,  this songs has a positive thing to say; while we’re busy running away from something bad, we might miss that we’re running into something a lot better. However, getting rid of scary doomsday stories you’ve been fed in the church bench since infancy, is hard. Run is full with blink and you’ll miss them-bible references paired with small town trash imagery. That makes a lot of sense for the most personal song on an album that will be titled Drive-through Chapel.

Musically, this song might bring to mind Swedish indie darlings Broder Daniel, and a hint of Swervedriver. Some inspiration was garnered from The Chipmunks 1988 song “The Wall” to evoke the right kind of bitter sweet. The limit of how high the BPM of a Shoegaze song is aptly pushed to leave the listener with a taste of blood in their mouth. Like running too fast does.

LYRICS

You made me supersad
By dumping me in the trash
No toxic waste and not a spider bite
could give me power to put my heart back right

My tough arms can tear you limb from limb
And sharp teeth just wanna dig on in
Yeah, I can fly or turn invisible
But it's no good I'm fucking miserable

Cos I thought we could do everything
But right now I can't do anything

I'm sorry, I'm not giving in
On the city that I'm living in
God I hope it's the kind of place
Days I save never go away

Cos I thought we could do everything
But right now I can't do anything

Los Angeles music collective Sumeau wants you to join their cult. The nine-piece dream-pop band invites fans to participate in their structured whimsicality—blurring the line between performer and audience. Just strap on a fanny pack and sing along in their secular psychedelic temple. 

Kat Primeau, the band's lyricist, lead singer, and director of blissful experiences, co-founded the band with multi-instrumentalist, producer, and songwriter Christopher Sousa while working on staff at Hollywood's renovated EastWest Studios, the famed former recording base for legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and The Beach Boys. During slow studio days, they'd tinker with sounds, recruiting musician friends to drop by after work. They eventually compiled enough songs for their self-titled 2014 debut, Sumeau (His "Su"+ her "Meau"="Sumeau," like the wrestler).

Sumeau remained a duo for their first cross country tour with the aid of a loop pedal. But they realized their sound was too expansive for that scaled-back format, and kept accepting their friend's offers to come and play until they reached their current core group of Harrison Lee, their primary orchestral arranger on cello and Moog synth, guitarist George Chammas, keyboardist Dan Macken, violinist Julia Chalker, vocalist Molly Dworsky, drummer Alex Keenan, and aux percussionist Ian McAllister. 

Their second LP, TBA, was tracked at EastWest in 2018 with versatile engineer Tyler Shields (The War on Drugs, Kamasi Washington, Mac Miller). From the Beach House-y, #MeToo-inspired swirl of "You Do You" to the cascading, oceanic grooves of "Watermelon Sky", the album is lush but always anchored in melody. 

Helleau emerged during a zen-like weekend recording stint, tracking mostly live in the room. They were so transformed by the experience that Primeau handed out holiday cards from the band which said "Merry Bliss-mas." That phrase may describe Sumeau better than any other. "The idea of creating a sense of bliss, euphoria, magic in every experience—that session was a reaffirmation of what we're doing," Chammas says. 

"Every time we rehearse or play together, I leave energized, my face hurting from so much smiling," says Primeau. "There's a really good vibe, everyone contributes like little bliss babies."

We are not music snobs. We prefer music connoisseurs.
