Featuring fuzzy guitars, heavy drums, and a pulsating bass line, Alita Tattle Srings, the frontman, sings: “Why don’t you lie to me / why do you stop crying with me / You said that I am to blame / why don’t you go and take your goal,” capturing the essence of emotional struggle while being unable to resist another person.

Insights on the New Track

In the press release, Tattle elaborated: “We discuss a friendship that was built on imbalance, where one party gives more than they receive, leading to a toxic dynamic over time. The lyrics reflect this relationship dynamic; the words of one individual dominate, leaving no room for change. The refrain echoes the theme of reevaluation: ‘If this is my fault, as you say, then take your goal.’

The music video, directed by Noah Nila and Aj Incamicia, features the band, including guitarists Baron Rintsler and Desi Castagon, along with drummer Cooper Ladomad, as Tuttle takes aim.

As NME cover stars, the group previously discussed their music creation process. Scaglione noted: “Our tastes are so diverse that to continue making the music we love, we felt the need to introduce new elements into our songwriting.” Tattle added: “We aim to avoid confining ourselves to one genre and instead explore everything we adore as musicians, creating something that feels uniquely ours.”

In celebration of the release of “Take Your Goal”, the band will perform this Saturday (February 8) at Zebulon in Los Angeles. All proceeds from the concert will be donated to the California Society’s Fund for Restoring Forest Fires and the Pasadena Work Center.
