Album review
Another Michael have offered up another single from their upcoming album Pick Me Up, Turn Me Upside Down, which arrives May 31 via Run for Cover. ‘I’m Your Roommate’ follows earlier cuts ‘Is There a World?’, ‘Mudslide’, ‘Seafood’, and the title track. Check it out below.
“The opening line of this song stuck to me like gum for about eight months – ‘I’m your roommate, I’m here for you,'” Michael Doherty explained in a statement. “I started living with Nick and our new drummer Noah, who’s also our engineer Scoops’ brother. It was a vulnerable time for everyone for many different reasons, and I just kept singing that line to myself. That winter was also when I’d been watching a lot of Sesame Street, which began to influence a lot of the music I was writing. I finally decided to commit to this line and what came out reminds me a lot of a ballad you might hear on the show, something like Ernie’s “I Don’t Want To Live On the Moon.”, We played characters like the ones you’d see on the show as we recorded the background vocals, it’s some of the most fun we had in the studio. It was some real world building.”
