Grumpy, like many great hero tricksters before him, has always been a project of juxtaposition: upbeat radio-ready hits whose buoyant, goofy hooks belie the dark thoughts they describe. Much of this, Schmitt acknowledges, owes its due to the matter-of-fact morbidity of the trans experience in America. It’s from these experiences—personal, romantic, political, and existential—that the tale of ‘\u003cem\u003eUnfindable Ring\u003c\/em\u003e’ unfolds. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Grumpy, Heaven Schmitt is joined by Anya Good, Ellie Long (Kid Lake), Austin Arnold, Diego Clare (D.A. Crimson), and Lane Rodgers, who each contribute to every step of the process—engineering and recording, mixing, drafting artwork, producing, and making music videos. A kind of interdisciplinary thieves’ guild, the project, while once Schmitt’s solo eponym, is a labor of communal love. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“We are living these happy lives, and there are people we come across who don’t know us at all who want us to die,” Schmitt, explains. Often the visibility of the joy itself is what prompts the vitriol––“I’m so happy I could die,” Schmitt belts over and over on the chorus (a familiar figure of speech, sure, but one which, upon any scrutiny, shows Schmitt’s hand in the macabre.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA middle finger to fate, Good started asking, “What are you going to do with your One Beautiful Life?” Grumpy is going to keep playing, touring, searching, finding. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Fans Of; Frankie Cosmos, Frost Children, Water From Your Eyes, @, Feeble Little Horse, This Is Lorelei, Porches, Chanel Beads, Ear , Sidney Gish, Wednesday , MJ Lenderman , Aldous Harding\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bayonet Records","offers":[{"title":"Transparent Ice Blue LP","offer_id":51702877126934,"sku":"RMX-72775","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":51702877159702,"sku":"RMX-72776","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a79db58a56d47c32a04e695.jpg?v=1786458401","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/grumpy-unfindable-ring","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
