The Danner Party put out a new song on Oct. 30 called “So Fucking What?” Distributor issues kept the single from being available on all streaming sites until late last week, but it is now available everywhere.
The song is acting as the leading single for the upcoming album, Camel Lion Child, which will be released sometime in the future (date TBA).
The band has already released two previous collections: Ex Nihilo (2020) and The Danner Party (2015). “So Fucking What?” is the first music they’ve released since July 2020.
According to The Danner Party, Camel Lion Child will be their take on a coming of age story. Featuring songs dealing with a disappointing reality, the album overall circles the action of rejecting the shortcomings of life that come with age. With allusions to progressive movements and a deep disdain for people using those movements for their own gain, the album will certainly be an interesting one to dissect and hear.
“So Fucking What?” is a gritty ten-minute track filled with echoing cries and grinding solos. The lyrics attack the angry and spiteful. Disdainful claims of people shooting messengers mix with genuine frustration and grunge-y garage band music.
The song is every bit the commentary of a disappointing reality. Featuring both bleeding hearts and cactus shells, the song pokes holes in arguments unbacked by facts and true feeling. Overall, the song can truly be described by the title as the band begs the question: “so fucking what?”
Listen to the song below and form your own opinion. You can follow The Danner Party on all social media and music streaming sites.
