Letters to Cleo have released a split seven inch featuring the new songs “Bad Man” on the A Side and “It’s Sunny Outside” on the B-Side. The seven inch record is out today across all digital platforms and available on tri color splatter vinyl that will be sold exclusively at the band’s show this Fall.
The record is the first new music offering from Letters to Cleo since the 2019 release of their holiday EP Ok Christmas. The music started to come together during writing sessions that vocalist Kay Hanley and guitarist Michael Eisenstein were having at Eisenstein’s studio in Los Angeles prior to the pandemic.
“Bad Man” is about a woman in an abusive relationship who takes matters into her own hands to end the abuse by murdering her partner whereas “It’s Sunny Outside” is an upbeat, fun, yet slyly dark song about how the unwavering good weather of Southern California can actually be oppressive. Both songs were produced by Billy Lefler at The Deathstar studio in Los Angeles.
The split seven inch comes in advance of the band’s annual Fall Homecoming Tour. This year Letters to Cleo celebrates the 30 anniversary of the release of their seminal album Aurora Gory Alice, playing the album in its entirety on each of the Fall dates including the annual set of shows at the Paradise in Boston.
The album, along with Go!, Wholesale Meats and Fish, Back to Nebraska and OK Christmas are all available on various vinyl formats at LettersToCleo.net.
