Pissed Jeans are back with "The Bar Is Low", the first single from fifth LP Why Love Now

Philly's Pissed Jeans are releasing their first album since 2013 next year - it's their fifth in total and it's called Why Love Now.

They've also shared the first single, "The Bar Is Low", which you can check out above. Frontman Matt Korvette says it's about "how every guy seems to be revealing themselves as a shithead. It seems like every guy is getting outed, across every board of entertainment and politics and music. There’s no guy that isn’t a total creep."

Why Love Now follows 2013's Honeys - it's produced with Lydia Lunch and Arthur Rizk.

"I knew she wasn't a traditional producer," Korvette says of Lunch. "We wanted to mix it up a little bit. I like how she's so cool and really intimidating. I didn't know how it was going to work out. She ended up being so fucking awesome and crazy. She was super into it, constantly threatening to bend us over the bathtub. I'm not really sure what that entails, but I know she probably wasn't joking.”
