Whitmer Thomas <\/strong>k\u00fcndigt sein neues Album \u201eThe Older I Get The Funnier I Was\u201c (V\u00d6: 21.10.22\/Hardly Art<\/strong>) an, zusammen mit einem Video zu seiner Lead-Single \u201eRigamarole\u201c. <\/p>\n

\u201cRigamarole is a song about trying to shake depression with routine, and ultimately accepting I\u2019ve got no choice but to sink into it,\u201d says Thomas. \u201cIf I try to just live with it, like a roommate who\u2019s constantly trying to give me a regrettable haircut, it helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201eThe Older I Get the Funnier I Was\u201c das Thomas\u2018 brillantem HBO-Special \u201eThe Golden One\u201c aus dem Jahr 2020 und seiner EP \u201eCan\u2019t Believe You\u2019re Happy Here\u201c folgt, die Anfang des Jahres ver\u00f6ffentlicht wurde, bietet eine breite Klangpalette zwischen Pop-Punk, Elektro und dem offensichtlichen Einfluss der Singer-Songwriter, mit denen er in seiner fr\u00fchen Kindheit auseinander gesetzt hat. Es beschw\u00f6rt die Langeweile von Bright Eyes neben dem schamlosen Geschichtenerz\u00e4hlen von John Prine, die \u00fcberf\u00fcllten Nummern von Fred Thomas mit dem nachl\u00e4ssigen Humor von Colleen Green und vielen anderen herauf.<\/p>\n

Thomas \u00fcber sein Songwriting: \u201cAs a comic, I used to test out new songs during sets to see if the funny bits were hitting, but since I wrote this in isolation I ended up writing lyrics and worrying less about making jokes,\u201d. <\/p>\n

Die Lead-Single \u201eRigamarole\u201c beginnt mit einem „Infomercial“ (Thomas-Stimme) die an seinen oft zitierten Doppelg\u00e4nger Jim Carrey als Grinch erinnert, bevor sie mit einem lebhaften Popsong \u00fcber Depressionen weitergeht.<\/p>\n
