Sad13 releases new song ‘Oops…!’

After announcing that her sophomore album ‘Haunted Painting’ is arriving on 25th September, Speedy Ortiz’s Sadie Dupuis is sharing her newest track under her Sad13 moniker, releasing new bop ‘Oops…!’.

“We recorded “Oops…!” at New Monkey, which was Elliott Smith’s studio,” Sadie explains. “This one has a magic drum sound - thanks entirely to engineer Sarah Tudzin (of Illuminati Hotties notoriety), and Zoë Brecher’s impeccable playing. Just before writing it, on tour with CHVRCHES, a venue employee became physically and verbally violent with one of my Speedy Ortiz bandmates. He directed his fake apology at me instead of the person he harmed, presumably because I am smaller and present feminine. My vengeance complex kicked in and I got a scary adrenaline high making sure this unsafe person was removed from the show. While I’m glad I have protective instincts, I wrote the song to process ways in which I’ve used people’s assumptions about me and my body to wield my own version of toxic masculinity. Kimber-Lee Alston, who directed remotely via Zoom, turned this story and song into an allegory about a 1950s prom queen vampire who lures in her bad boy victims with delicious, blood-filled treats.”
