LA-based post-punk band Agender just want to look good for the apocalypse with their latest cheeky, punk-disco track ‘Things Things Things’ out now. Plus, the band promises to share their punchy, synth-punk third album, Berserk, which captures the band’s distinctive manic, unhinged energy that matches living in today’s world, early next year.

Over cutting guitars, melodic synths and disco drums, ‘Things Things Things’ is a playful take on the endless quest to buy more to fill a bottomless void that never quite feels fulfilled. With lines like “Things, things, things, a material girl, not a moralist/I know everything is bad, I just wanna look good for the apocalypse,” lead singer/guitarist Romy Hoffman says, “‘Things’ is the dancey disco punk anthem against consumerism we all need right now, in this age of late stage capitalism.” The bassline came first, followed by the disco drum beat and guitars followed. The songs, like most Agender songs, flowed naturally out of Hoffman, who adds, “I didn’t set out to write a song about late stage capitalism, it just wrote itself. I kept hearing ‘Things Things Things’ pop out of the rhythm section pocket.” The track was written by Hoffman, produced by her and David Scott Stone (LCD Soundsystem), mixed by Spencer Hartling (Self Improvement) and mastered by Bob Weston (Shellac).
