Parent Teacher Announces New EP Celestial Mom: Hear “Eight Cents”

Tricks For Meds, Richard Spitzer's recent album as Parent Teacher, was worth your time. So is "Eight Cents," the lead single and opening track from his forthcoming EP Celestial Mom. The track maintains Spitzer's knack for songcraft that feels classic yet idiosyncratic, bringing together drum machines with chorus-inflected guitars as he neurotically reflects on self-worth:I spend a lot of time writing songs about how ridiculous the world has become, so I figured it was probably time to acknowledge that I’m part of the problem. "Eight Cents" is basically about wanting people to like you while simultaneously finding the whole idea of being liked kind of humiliating. I wanted it to sound upbeat, because there’s something inherently funny about having an existential crisis over a bunch of dad-rock riffs.Listen below.TRACKLIST:01 "Eight Cents" 02 "Daylight"03 "Idiot"04 "Keys To The Castle"Celestial Mom is due out in the spring via Wilbur & Moore Records.Kate Menard
