On March 25th P.E. will release their latest LP The Leather Lemon on Wharf Cat Records (Water From Your Eyes, Palberta, Lily Konigsberg). The follow up to 2021’s The Reason For My Love EP, which earned praise from outlets like Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, Bandcamp, The Guardian (who had the EP’s title track on their 2021 Best Songs You Haven’t Heard list) and Pitchfork (who had the EP on their list of Great Records From 2021 You May Have Missed), the album has seen the release of two singles so far, lead single “Blue Nude (Reclined)“, and “Tears In The Rain“, a track that features Parquet Courts‘ A. Savage, and was described by Rolling Stone as “the perfect soundtrack for a neo-noir, with just a bit of tongue-in-cheek.” Today, P.E. are back with a final preview of their new LP, a track called “Contradiction of Wants”.

“This song is about the heartache and burden that is capitalism,” singer Veronica Torres explains. “Simultaneously experiencing disgust over consumerism and exploitation while singing along to the theme song. The Levi’s jeans commercial telling us to buy their product to waste less. Pink dolphins crying into the earth’s rivers. Climate change is real. Vegan’s snorting cocaine.”
To celebrate the album’s release the band will be playing a Brooklyn release show that will take place at Union Pool on March 23rd and will also feature A. Savage as a DJ and support from Pop 1280. Tickets are available to purchase here.
