Sad13 previews new album with third single "Hysterical"
Sad13, aka Speedy Ortiz's Sadie Dupuis, has released "Hysterical" today (25 August) as the third preview of her upcoming album Haunted Painting.
"Hysterical" arrives after previous outings "Oops...!" and "Ghost (of a Good Time)", and is, in Dupuis' own words, a song about "unfunny comedians [who] love to argue that 'PC culture' destroys comedy."
The accompanying visual is directed by Kate Banford and Jamie Loftus, and features appearances from Loftus, Mitra Jouhari (Three Busy Debras, Search Party, High Maintenance) and Demi Adejuyigbe (The Good Place, Punch Up The Jam).
Haunted Painting will be Dupuis' first Sad13 album in four years, after 2016's debut LP Slugger.
Dupuis says of her second Sad13 album, "I worked on Haunted Painting throughout 2019, writing, arranging and recording from home, then finishing the songs in studios around the country in between Speedy's fly-in dates. It's maximalist, and more true to me and my tastes than any record I've done."
