“Meg” is the first single from The End of When by The Black Watch!
Referred to as “a national treasure” by the L.A. Weekly, the Los Angeles-based veteran indie pop band The Black Watch formed in the late 1980’s and has released “17-and-counting CDs of remarkable consistency” in that time, according to the paper. With all of that work and time behind frontman, John Andrew Frederick, the songwriter might have decided by now to spend a bit more time playing ping-pong or with his set of official Andy Partridge toy soldiers. Not so.
After a relatively short (six years!) break, The Black Watch (now featuring ex-The Chills member, Steven Schayer) returns on September 10th with a new album The End of When, accompanied by a second CD collecting some of the band’s best and brightest tunes from its catalog.
The lead single from the new album is “Meg,” which Frederick describes as “revolving around the singer’s appreciation of a woman’s uniqueness and beauty and how he goes all ‘ice cream inside’ when he thinks of her looking at him ‘green-eyed-shyly’ through ‘imperfect bangs.’”
The End of When is the first release for Austin’s Pop Culture Press Records, an offshoot of the well-respected indie zine of the same name.
