"This is a relatively straightforward song about Hanging with the Homies, which I find to be a classic and timeless premise for many good songs. i’ve found, however, that recently there’s a dark cloud of end times that hangs out with us, of course, and there’s a new psychic puzzle of trying to have fun despite this," Asher White says of the track.
"This song toys a little with the membrane between losing-yourself-in-rapturous-experience-of-friend-love and panic-about-the-immediate-future-on-an-urgent-material-level; sometimes a feeling of doom can even facilitate a moment of heightened presentness. so there’s some real Perks of Being a Wallflower -style images that result from me discovering I have the group of friends and lovers I’d wanted my entire childhood. the kratom bar in question is Misfit on Central Ave in Bushwick and we tend to go there a few times a month and it’s a real blast."
The track follows the release of her 2024 LP Home Constellation Study followed by a collaborative single with Caroline Rose and Eli Winter for the TRANSA compilation that came out in December.
