The arc of the journey, like any good Spirited Away or Neverending Story, lands it's wide-traveled protagonist right back at home before bedtime. 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 it's 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 'Unfindable Ring' unfolds.Ambition and play have always defined the Grumpy sound. Late last year, the Fader praised their \"\"demented, hooky\"\" EP, \"\"Piebald,\"\" whose innovative fuzz-pop confections earned them coverage in NPR and the New York Times. Stereogum heralded them as \"\"wonderfully weird,\"\" and Paste designated them \"\"the best of what's next.\"\" Through boisterous collaborations with the likes of Sidney Gish and Claire Rousay, they've effortlessly ingratiated themselves with the titans of DIY, and, more recently, Schmitt has become an unlikely favored collaborator of chart-topping country giant Zach Bryan, who named his new record-which prominently features Schmitt's harmonies-conspicuously, 'With Heaven On Top.'In 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.\"\"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.) A 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACK LIST:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"track\"\u003e1.
