Last we heard from Jeff Rosenstock in February, he was joining fellow ska revivalist JER in a ska-reimagining of Vampire Weekend’s “A-Punk.” Last fall, he and Laura Stevenson released their second EP of Neil Young covers. Prior to that, we got 2020’s NO DREAM and its ska reinterpretation SKA DREAM — not to mention the quarantine collection 2020 DUMP. Today, Rosenstock is announcing a big fall/winter US tour and sharing a brand-new song: “LIKED U BETTER.”
Recorded in summer 2022 in LA during a break from Rosenstock’s usual schedule of touring and composing for Craig Of The Creek, “LIKED U BETTER” was tracked at EastWest Studios with Jack Shirley. Meanwhile, the music video was filmed by Ryan Baxley and Mind Palace about a month ago and is based on, well, a funny idea of Rosenstock’s. That’s all we’ll say about that.
Watch “LIKED U BETTER” below.
