Set Your Goals‘ new song “Big Couch” received its online premiere this morning, October 01st. This past July the band released, “Accelerate” as their first track in over 15 years. At the time they announced a 7″ featuring today’s newly debuted track as the b-side.
Speaking of this second new offering to surface online, the band shared:
“This song feels like the logical next step in the progression of our songwriting as a band. Stylistically, it is a bit of an outlier with a heavier dose of emotional content, which is also what makes it so special to us. The lyrics are about reaching an age where one finds oneself in the position of role model for younger people, grappling with the significance of one’s actions, and making an earnest effort not to let them down. Crafting this song was a communal effort, which included the sounds of some of the band’s and our producer Scott’s children playing. We even enlisted a few friends to help out with vocals on the last chorus, including Scott’s wife, Ashley.”
The track’s debut coincides with tonight’s launch of their “Mutiny!” 20th anniversary tour, which will see them out with “Warriors” (performing “War Is Hell“), Restraining Order and Stateside.
