Joyce Manor has released a new song titled "All My Friends Are So Depressed," their first since 2022's album. Produced by Brett Gurewitz, the song highlights the band's soft and jangly music style. The concept arose from a humorous observation involving a Tecate delivery truck. The lyrics draw on themes of depression, blending everyday imagery with introspective thoughts. The band's sound incorporates influences from various artists, yielding a unique result that stands apart in their catalog while maintaining their core identity. The anticipation for future music continues as the song is complemented by an engaging video.
The first line I came up with for this song was 'lord above in a Tecate truck' after passing a Tecate delivery truck with Jesus shit all over it on the freeway driving back to Long Beach after a show in Fresno.
Instead of icy, detached cool 50's Americana, it's all dirty shag carpet, bong rips, Peter Frampton Comes Alive, key lime pie, and suicidal ideations.
Musically, we were drawing from The Libertines, Tiger Army, X, and The Smiths... obviously.
The end result is something that's both extremely Joyce Manor, and also not quite like any other song in their catalog.
