The Beaches – Touch Myself
Today, Canadian alt-rock outfit The Beaches share a new song from their highly anticipated upcoming record, “Touch Myself,” out everywhere now.
The track is the fourth single from their third studio album, No Hard Feelings, out everywhere August 29th via AWAL. Their recently announced North American tour is also on sale now.
Kicking off with a bright guitar juxtaposing the single’s subject matter, “Touch Myself” is a passionate, yearning anthem about struggling to get over a former partner. Witty but vulnerable lyrics take center stage, complemented with anthemic riffs to create the perfect scream-in-your-car breakup track that’s certain to be a fan favorite.
“Touch Myself is a song about being so heartbroken you can’t even masturbate, because when you do, it just makes you think of your ex,” shares the band. “It’s about how grief can sneak into the most private parts of your life and leave you feeling totally wrecked.”
Spanning 11 tracks, No Hard Feelings finds The Beaches at their tightest. From the indie melancholy of “Lesbian of the Year,” to the angst of “Can I Call You In The Morning?” the album is set to solidify the group as one of the driving forces of alt-rock today. It’s an album for dancing through the wins, the lows, and the real. Whatever reason you’re partying, just know The Beaches are out there doing the same, well after the club has closed.
“Touch Myself” follows previous singles “Did I Say Too Much,” chronicling a head-spinning situationship, and warm-weather anthem “Last Girls at the Party,” the perfect soundtrack to a girls night out and establishing the tone for the upcoming record. Meanwhile, first single “Jocelyn,” released in September, is a dreamy track about imposter syndrome and insecurity.
