Los Angeles musician Rosie Tucker has shared a new single from their upcoming sophomore album, Sucker Supreme. It’s titled ‘Habanero’ and it arrives with a music video directed by Katharine White. Check it out below and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork and tracklist.
Tucker said in a statement about the new track:
The first two verses of ‘Habanero’ are about flirting, which is an important distraction from both the problems of the self and the issue of mortality. Desire is not the same thing as a sense of self, but it’ll work as an added sugar corn syrup kind of substitute. The third verse pulls from an early memory of a stream dense with tadpoles, watching them wriggle around my fingers in the water. I was obsessed – obsessed – with amphibians in general, and frogs in particular. I loved that they couldn’t be confined to one environment. I loved that they grow up by way of shape-shifting. I’ve spent a lot of time refusing to come to terms with the fact that I am stuck with myself, being the person I am all the time. I have gotten adequate at living while impatiently waiting for the smarter, kinder, better looking version of myself to come along, lead me out back, and put me out of my misery.
Sucker Supreme, the follow-up to 2019’s Never Not Never Not Never Not, is set for release on April 30 via Epitaph. Previously, Tucker released the album singles ‘Ambrosia’, ‘Brand New Beast’, and the Jeffrey Lewis cover ‘Arrow’.
