ミシガン州拠点のソングライター Andrew Dost (FUN.)によるバンド Metal Bubble Trioが、10/22にリリースしたニューシングル 'Cucumber'を公開！
1/17発売のデビューアルバム『Cucumber』タイトル曲。
9月のシングル 'Universal Themes'に続く2曲目。良い感じです。
“I knew the album would be called ‘Cucumber’ and that there would be a title track long before I knew what that meant. It just felt right - Cucumber. It kept percolating in my head, lyrics gradually formed, and I worked with Chris Hatfield to help bring it to life. The song kind of brings the themes of the album full-circle. It’s about the bits of information that get lost when people die, get divorced, or otherwise lose touch. The recipe only your grandma could make, that’s impossible to replicate. The breakfast spot you went to in Brooklyn that you don’t want to trouble an ex to ask about. The key moment in conceptualizing the song was watching my mom cut the skin off cucumbers - I reminded her that there are lots of good nutrients in the skin, and said I leave them on. She said that’s just how her mother did it. I thought it was such a sweet, sad, vulnerable moment - making a salad as a means to feel close to someone who has passed. My mother remembering her mother, probably thinking of her every single day, and wishing they’d had more time together. Plus, she said, sometimes the skins can be bitter. I’ll probably start cutting the skin off of mine someday, too.”
