Flower punk trio Meese has made their official debut with the heartfelt single "Number 1 Dad." The track opens up with a triumphant guitar riff from Evan Komstadius that has a jangly quality similar to Superchunk's "What A Time to be Alive." While the song doesn't share the same sardonic outlook as its musical kin, "Number 1 Dad" does grapple with a topic that hits more close to home. According to Evan, the track grapples with the topic of lost family connections and confusion surrounding it. This becomes ever apparent in the chorus with the line "Its not like I have control / That's my ode to you." The band acknowledges one's loss of power in the situation and sort of throws their hands in the air as a response.
Along with the song, the band released a music video that sort of lightens the mood of the song. The video depicts two members of Meese "performing" with boxes on their heads. I'm not sure whether the faces make more or less unsettling, so I'll leave that up to you to decide.
Meese will be releasing "Number 1 Dad," along with another single, in August of this year.
This Sunday, July 21, Meese will be playing alongside Perfume and Jack Squier at the Garage in Burnsville for the Gay-ráge Queer Music Fest.
