My Son The Doctor Share "Mid-Century Johnny," a Study in Freedom and Furniture

My Son The Doctor have a simple message for anyone growing impatient between album cycles: here's something to hold you over. The Brooklyn band has shared "Mid-Century Johnny," a standalone single recorded during sessions for their debut album Glamours — louder, more frantic, and itchier than most of what made the record, and too good to sit on a hard drive waiting for LP2.

Watch the video below.

The song's premise is airtight. Four young men share a dream: quit their jobs, find financially independent divorcees willing to cover their expenses, and never look back. One of them — Johnny — has already done it. He's lounging by the piano on someone else's mid-century modern furniture, his heavy winter coat long abandoned in favor of something considerably more comfortable. He is naked. He is free.

Recorded fast and loose at Mitch Easter's Fidelitorium in North Carolina by engineer Jeremy Snyder (Idles, Ekko Astral, Pure Adult) and mastered by Carl Saff, the track has the kind of live-room energy that suits the subject matter perfectly — slightly unhinged, completely committed. The music video, shot and edited by Jordan Aaron during the band's tour with Teenage Halloween, matches the song's energy beat for beat.

My Son The Doctor is currently at work on album number two. In the meantime, "Mid-Century Johnny" is exactly the kind of palate cleanser that makes the wait bearable. Catch them at Purgatory in Brooklyn on June 5 for the release show.
