Mar 27, 2019 Diane Coffee By Christopher Roberts Photography by Alexa Viscius

Diane Coffee (the project of Shaun Fleming) is releasing a new album, Internet Arms, on April 19 via Polyvinyl. Previously he shared a video for its first single, “Not Ready to Go,” which was one of our Songs of the Week. Now he has shared another song from the album, “Like a Child Does.” Listen to it below, followed by Diane Coffee’s upcoming tour dates.

In a press release Fleming says “Like a Child Does” is “about acting out and the chaos it creates. When humans live in a state of denial about their behavior and choose to live out the same loop over and over again, at some point a breakdown is inevitable. The breakdown can be a powerful growing moment: you either see yourself and make a change or fall back into the loop.”

Internet Arms is the third Diane Coffee album, the follow-up to 2015’s Everybody’s a Good Dog. Fleming was formerly a member of Foxygen.

Fleming had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “It became obvious as I was writing the album, just how entangled my social/emotional self is with technology, making me more exposed and simultaneously less connected. Why are we so drawn to this existence? With Internet Arms, I had a chance to explore these questions and it became very clear to me that I have a intricate and somewhat disconnected relationship with how I perceive myself and how I project myself. After wrestling with these questions on my own, the album has become my way to broaden the dialogue, and check in with everyone to ask, ‘How are you doing in our new worlds? Are you successfully navigating both your real and your digital existence? Is this working? Is this our destiny, or is there an alternative?’”
