Bleached - "Shitty Ballet"

The latest single from Los Angeles based Bleached isn't quite what we'd expect from them. First, they appear to now be a duo as opposed to the trio that recorded 2016's Welcome the Worms. Second, "Shitty Ballet" is fair more chill than anything off their previous album. It's a quiet, kinda quirky acoustic ditty instead of the updated sound of The Donnas that we had come to love. It takes a little time, but you slowly adjust to the new sound and begin to genuinely love it on its own. And then the rock kicks in at the end, bringing us back to what we've always loved about Bleached.
