If there’s any band that serves as the natural bridge between slacker punks who saw Pavement way before you did, wild-eyed wooks who’ve seen Phish more times than you ever will, and even the eccentrics in ’90s drip following former GT tourmates, Primus—it’s Guerilla Toss.
A band so imaginative and unapologetically themselves, they’re basically the real-life manifestation of a utopian, post-snob world where all musical ideas are worthy of expression and everyone is welcome. ‘You’re Weird Now’ powers this message.
Guerilla Toss’ fifth album, and second for Sub Pop, is a hugely creative and joyful statement about the joy of creativity. With ‘You’re Weird Now’ Guerilla Toss reclaim the word “weird” for everyone brave enough to let their freak flag fly and stay true to their artistic vision no matter what—a way riskier act than it’s ever given credit for, and one that requires a certain amount of serene self-confidence that it takes time and effort to cultivate and sustain. And they do so with the enthusiastic support of their musical predecessors: a standout moment arrives with “Red Flag to Angry Bull,” which builds to a campfire sing-along-worthy outro featuring Malkmus and Carlson duetting over a chatty, classically Phish-y (there’s really no better word for it) solo from Anastasio.
The band hopes the message of ‘You’re Weird Now’ will resonate not only with music heads but anyone who struggles with feeling weird in a world where it will always be hard to be different. At the end of the day, it’s all about the spirit of punk lunch: there’s room for everyone because music is for everyone. “Everyone loves and appreciates music,” says Carlson. “If you don’t like music, you’re kind of an asshole.” That’s not weird—that’s just true.
