Gouge Away has signed to Run for Cover Records, and are celebrating with the release of new single, ‘Figurine’. Within ‘Figurine’, we are able to see the evolution of the noise rock band, with this song taking influence from bands such as The Pixies.
Vocalist, Christina Michelle states in regard to the song: 'Figurine' is the first song we finished with Theo Hartlett (Ovlov, Pet Fox), a friend of ours who has been touring with us on guitar. We wrote this song while on tour last fall and it came together so easily. I went into writing the lyrics with an entirely different idea in mind, but these spilled out of me on one of the drives. Before the tour, I was digitizing home videos, having to see myself as a kid from an outside perspective. I knew I was shy, a people-pleaser, and all these things, but it was different to watch it on film. I was always afraid of disappointing people so I made myself small and rarely acted outside of this little box I found myself in. Instead of getting into trouble like most kids, I didn’t really break out of my comfort zone until much more recently. I thought I had to work really hard to be loved. I stretch myself so thin to please everyone else that it winds up being the expectation. I found people who love me, even when I am a messy trainwreck, and that toppled my entire reality. And yet, there’s still this little kid inside of me who is afraid of upsetting her parents. We recorded this song live to tape in Portland at Jackpot! It was our first time working with Larry Crane and it was so much fun."
Additionally, the release of this single follows the release of their newest full length album, ‘Deep Sage’. They will also be embarking on tour with Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Ovlov, and Touché Amoré.
