Ok Cowgirl and "Larry David" are Furious and Exhausted

Brooklyn's Ok Cowgirl will release their debut LP Couldn't Save Us From My Gut on August 16 and today shares "Larry David", a furious exhaust vent on a record filled with pent-up ambivalence. The track's "everything is fucked" gang vocal and perfect stomping tempo provide an easy alignment with the listener's sense of tension and release.

"We often begin rehearsal by sitting around and catching up as friends," says lead singer and songwriter Leah Lavigne of the track. "One evening when everyone had a particularly hard day our conversation ended with someone declaring 'everything is fucked'. I suggested that instead of jumping into running our set we blow off some steam by jamming. Jake started playing some chords, Matt locked in with a beat, and I jokingly screamed 'everything is fucked', improvising the first verse until we broke down in laughter. We all agreed we had to write this song then and there."
