]]> Fresh Kill are a trio from Bloomington, Indiana, comprising of Jess Mann (vocals/guitar), Emma Johnson (vocals/drums) and KC Cifizzari (bass). After releasing a few demos last year, Fresh Kill have just announced their self-titled debut album on 1212 Records. Citing influences as diverse as Neil Young, Mitski and Death, the band create emotive indie rock that manages to sound both vulnerable and empowering, what the band describe as “sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, often angry.”

In anticipation of the album, here’s a sneak peek of the first single, ‘San Diego’, a bittersweet pop song that’s part sunny vibes and part heavy-hearted woe. The track opens with skittering drums and a pulsing bass line, the lyrics a daydream of escaping a town and the people who live there, allusions to disappointment and soured relationships hanging heavy as summer storm clouds. But the catchy chorus blows all that away, that rush of sickly excitement that comes with new possibilities.

“Maybe I should move to San Diego
where it’s summer all year round
wash my hands in salty water
and dig my feet into the ground”

Fresh Kill will be released later this summer. Keep an eye on 1212 Records and the Fresh Kill Bandcamp page to pre-order.
