Yesterday Massachusetts‘ indie rockers, with a taste for nu metal, SPEEDY ORTIZ,
fronted by founder and climate-caring Sadie Dupuis unleashed their 4th LP, titled
RABBIT RABBIT (stream below). A record with pop melodies surrounded by layers
of buzzing guitars and Dupuis‘ expressive voice in the middle.

One of the 4 shared singles off the LP was the closer, named GHOSTWRITER.

Dupuis: “While “Ghostwriter” ruminates on the horrible realities that stoke my anger—in this song’s case, the death of our climate and the criminalization of environmental protesters—it’s also about trying to live with less rage in the day-to-day. And not always succeeding, but not getting mad about that, either. And sometimes directing that angry adrenaline toward positive actions.”

Turn it up.

SPEEDY ORTIZ Launch New Therapeutic Track/Clip ‘LEAN IN WHEN I SUFFER’ From Upcoming Album…

Posted on by JL

Clips that will have an impact on your eyes and your ears…

21 March 2018

Indie pop rockers SPEEDY ORTIZ out of Northampton, Massachusetts will release their
third album ‘Twerp Verse‘ next month and today they launched a healing clip for new
track LEAN IN WHEN I SUFFER from that upcoming LP.

In a press statement singer Sadie Dupuis revealed that the song: “is about that fun breed
of ‘ally’ who wears out their already exhausted friends by relying on us for excessive emotional labor. They want props for their wokeness, but don’t want to put in any actual work or divest themselves of power. They just taaaake uuuup spaaaace, and shut down when you try to talk them through their problematic tendencies. Because #selfcare? So you’re stuck in a toxic vampiric loop trying to maintain a relationship–Lean In AND Suffer, why don’t you!” and
adding that “ultimately, playing angry rock songs is our favorite form of therapy.”

Here’s the weirdly catchy new track and its
accompanying video directed by Ari Ratner
