Johanna Samuels has released 'Blue vs. Pinkerton', the latest track from forthcoming album Sorry, Kid, due 14 August through Odd Man Out Recordings and Jealous Butcher.
The title borrows one of alternative rock's longest-running arguments — which classic Weezer album is better — and turns it into material for Samuels' own writing rather than simply indulging nostalgia.
Produced as part of an album involving Jonathan Rado, the song follows 'White Limousine', 'Two People and the Moon' and 'Circles'. Samuels has a knack for placing highly specific cultural details inside emotionally accessible songwriting.
