La Dispute released the video for "Sibling Fistfight at Mom's Fiftieth / The Un-sound" from their forthcoming album, No One Was Driving the Car, set for release on September 5th. This track continues the narrative established by earlier singles, presenting a more compact format. Jordan Dreyer's vocal delivery exhibits a heightened intensity. The act focuses on the narrator's introspection and explores influential events from their past through a series of imagined self-portraits, starting with a haunting memory from their early teenage years involving a hunting trip and an abandoned paramilitary compound.
The next act encompasses in more focused detail the narrator's look backwards down the path, beginning at their shared home in the present day, where the dissociation introduced in act one as almost entirely a self-inclosed thing trickles outward and troubles the comfort outlined in the last section of the song preceding it. He examines his own life through imagined self-portraits, in various sequences of time (fractions of days first, then weeks, months, years), and through multiple specific events.
First, a story from his early teenage years, where he and his brother-up north hunting with their father in the area where he and his own brother (the boys' uncle, who has long lived far away elsewhere), and their father (who died when they were young)- stumble upon what they believe to be an abandoned paramilitary compound.
