Mediocre - "Together Together"
Mediocre, the queer Boston based duo that started off in Los Angeles, just released what might be the coolest song of the year. "Together Together" is a chilled out track that reminds me of a weird hybrid of Luscious Jackson and The Moldy Peaches, but in a much more mainstream kind of way. It's a quiet song that could be fully danceable if it was just a wee bit faster, but as it is it just has that unprotected sincerity you got with The Moldy Peaches and the ultra-cool groove of Luscious Jackson. It's a song about having a crush and not being quite sure how to confess or make your move. As Mediocre puts it, it's "... a swan song for the end of the world." You can watch the video for "Together Together" below. Know You're Screwed is out April 7 on Dangerbird Records. For more on Mediocre, check out the band on Instagram and Twitter . If you're in the Boston area, you can catch them on April 17 at the Silhouette Lounge in Allston.
