Listen to Sebadoh’s caustic new single “Stunned”

It’s the latest single from the legendary trio’s new album, Act Surprised.

March 28, 2019

Sebadoh, one of the most beloved indie rock bands of all time, have a new album, Act Surprised, out on May 24. It’ll be their first since 2013’s Defend Yourself and only their second since The Sebadoh all-but tore them apart two decades ago.

The first single from the record, “celebrate the void,” was a combustible shout-along, and now they’re back with another song, “Stunned,” the video for which is premiering below. It’s a scuzzy, paranoid-sounding song, underpinned by Jason Loewenstein's weary snarl: “Don’t you creep around me.”

"The incessant bombardment of the senses with media and advertising can lead to a kind of self defensive paralysis,” Loewenstein wrote in an appropriately brisk statement to The FADER this morning. “I am completely stunned at this point."
