F*cked Up unveil new song "Found"

After announcing One Day with the title-track last month, Fucked Up have shared a second preview of the new record titled "Found".

Guitarist and songwriter Mike Haliechuk says, "I used to live on Davenport Road, which is one of the oldest streets in North America, and has been a First Nations trail for thousands of years, running along the north shore of Lake Iroquois, which receded after the last ice age. Just to the east was Taddle Creek, which was buried underground during the 19th century to build the streets I walk on. I thought about gentrification a lot, watching little stores get swallowed up by big buildings until I realised I am one of those big buildings. The name of the song comes from the Shadi Bartsch translation of The Aeneid, where she points out that the words "found" and "stab" open and close the book, which are two meanings for the same Greek verb. That discovery is actually conquest, and that settlement is always violence. And that any story I try to tell myself about the place I found to live can only be a story to justify the expansion of one people across the world of another."

One Day will follow Fucked Up's 2018 album Dose Your Dreams and their March compilation Do All Words Can Do. The forthcoming album is the group's shortest of their career, having been written and recorded in the space of just one day (hence the title).

Haliechuk adds, "I wanted to see what I could record in one day. After you’ve been in a band for this long, you lose track of what your sound actually is. Twenty-four hours can feel like a long time, but you can get a lot done then, too. It can feel like forever and one minute at the same time. If you work on something for one day, it can end up being really special."
