Methyl Ethel

stream Methyl Ethel's new song "Trip The Mains" (and its video)

Australia’s Methyl Ethel will release their third album Triage on February 15 via 4AD (pre-order), and today we’re premiering its third single “Trip The Mains,” along with its video. It’s got a sharp, ’80s new wave-ish backdrop, but main member Jake Webb brings it into the now with a catchy vocal performance that fans of MGMT and Phoenix might dig. The Matt Sav-directed video stars Webb in all kind of crazy, gravity-defying locations, and you can check that out below.

As mentioned, Methyl Ethel are touring with TEEN (that’s a well-matched pairing), including a Brooklyn show on March 29 at Elsewhere Hall (tickets). All dates are listed below.
