Johanna Warren has announced the release of a new album, Lessons for Mutants, which will be out on October 7 via Wax Nine/Carpark. Warren has also announced a tour in support of the album and has shared a video for the album’s lead single, “I’d Be Orange.” View the video, directed by Warren alongside Richey Beckett, below, along with the album’s tracklist and cover art.
Warren speaks about the album, which was tracked live with a band to two-inch tape, in a press release: “Tape forces you to commit to a performance, eccentricities and all. The little glitches and anomalies that we’re tempted to ‘correct’ are often what make a thing magical. There’s this unspoken rule in modern music—modern life, really—that everything needs to be Auto-Tuned and ‘on the grid. This record is an act of resistance against that. There’s beauty and power in our aberrations, if we can embrace them.”
She adds that “I’d Be Orange” is “about martyrdom and masochism in pop culture and the quest for stardom. The only thing we love more than building up an icon is watching them fall—and yet, as an aspiring icon, even when you know that, there’s still this perverse desire to be one of the chosen ones who gets pinned to the cross and set ablaze.”
