Today M(h)aol are excited to release their highly anticipated new album Something Soft. To celebrate, they're sharing a video for "1800-Call-Me-Back" which was made with their phones showing their daily life on Thursday, May 1 in their separate cities. Something Soft is now streaming wherever you listen to music, and is now shipping on CD or LP from the Merge store.
Drummer/vocalist Constance Keane on “1800-Call-Me-Back":
This track is about getting ghosted, which I personally think should be a criminal offence for anyone over the age of 25. The intro sound came from me and Sean watching the Euros and talking about football chants. I am not actually interested in football, but there’s something about international football where teams can’t buy people that I got super on board with that year. This is our football song.
