Brooklyn indie rock band Foyer Red have joined the Carpark Records roster.

To celebrate today’s announcement, the band unveiled their new single “Etc.” An accompanying music video directed by guitarist/singer Mitch Myers can be seen below.

Singer/clarinetist Elana Riordan said this about the new song, which is on digital services right now:

"My character in 'Etc' finds themselves in a dysfunctional relationship in which gender informs internal struggles of power and control. Instead of addressing the problem they state it plainly while asking vague and broad questions about the nature of the world. Rather than seeking a new system they find ways to play into that system to ultimately get what they want in the short-term. Echoing the stark sonic changes in the song, Mitch’s character is on a different page entirely. Taking a note from Algorithms to Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions, they are fixated on the optimal stopping problems, seeking to maximize the reward of a great parking space and minimize the cost of distance from the front doors and time spent circling around holding out for a better spot. The syllables are so stiff and stressed at unnatural points in the last verse to exemplify how mechanical the whole process has been, where the character is in their head crunching data to guarantee satisfaction with the outcome."

This Saturday (November 10), the band will celebrate their signing with a performance at Brooklyn’s Alphaville with Ducks LTD and DJ Sad13. Tickets for the show are on sale to the general public here.
