Background and recording

They played their first show, on December 28, 2022, their first show in 23 years.[1][3]

Reception
[edit]Daniel Grear of Arkansas Times called the song contained the same "clumsy magic" that made the band's earlier content special.[2] Chris Deville of Stereogum also commented on how the song revived the band's unique sound, citing the "morbidly hilarious" lyrics and a "dynamic twinkly emo" sound.[4] Andrew Sacher of BrooklynVegan called it "a quirky, ’90s-style indie-emo song inspired by male pattern baldness".[5]
