Grumpy Announces New EP ‘Piebald’, Shares New Song ‘Crush’ – Our Culture

Grumpy – the NYC based-project of Heaven Schmitt – has announced a new EP, Piebald. The follow-up to last year’s Wolfed EP lands on September 26 via Bayonet. Check out the infatuated lead single ‘Crush’ below.

In a statement about the track, Schmitt explained:

Crush was written years ago, during a time when I kept finding myself at the edge of saying “I love you,” but not quite. It was about all the crushes I’d ever had, but more specifically, it was about one person. They had actually written me a song called “Crush” first, and this was my response.

At the time, I was engaged and in an open relationship. That familiar rush of a new crush was there, but something about this one felt different, like it could turn my whole life upside down. And, in some ways, it did. Though we eventually settled into friendship, I look back on this as the beginning of the end, the realization that– shit, I’m gayer than I thought, and ultimately it led to the end of my marriage to our drummer (and beloved friend) Austin Arnold.

Crush was the first song I wrote about them. It’s about the thrill of obsession, of possibility. Flower, which came out last year on our EP Wolfed, was about the other side of that story: the peace that comes with letting go, and allowing something once-romantic to transform into deep friendship.
