Another Michael Share New Single/Video "Seafood"
Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down out 5/31
Philadelphia's most adventurous guitar pop band, Another Michael, are gearing up for the release of their new album Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down, and today they're back with another new single, "Seafood." Due out May 31st from Run For Cover Records, Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down arrives hot on the heels of its sibling, 2023's Wishes To Fulfill, providing a more experimental counterpart and highlighting Another Michael's unending creativity.
"Seafood" follows "Mudslide," "Is There A World?," and the title track (which drew attention from the like of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Uproxx, Paste Magazine, and more) and is yet another offering from the band's seemingly infinite well of stirring indie pop. The song unfolds around a swaying beat and shimmering guitars, with vocalist/guitarist Michael Doherty's singular voice at the center.
Wishes To Fulfill garnered praise for its focus on instantly memorable hooks, and Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down offers a contrasting and complimentary side of Another Michael, bringing new hues to their vibrant sound. The album is still packed with the elements that make Another Michael so special--highly catchy melodies, inventive chord progressions, lush arrangements, and layered harmonies--all while venturing into rewarding untouched sonic territory.
Like Wishes To Fulfill before it, Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down finds Another Michael reveling in their love of song--creating and paying tribute to transcendent musical moments and celebrating the deeply personal relationship that can develop between a listener and music that they truly connect with. “Music is a medium of communication,” explains bassist Nick Sebastiano, “It’s not a purposeful decision to talk about music in our songs but it just inherently means so much to us. If something makes your heart sing, the audience is going to hear it.” Doherty adds, "I think good songs are just ones you can find yourself bringing with you all your life no matter where it takes you."
Another Michael also have a lengthy run of US tour dates coming up, with support from Tenci. See full itinerary below.
