The Menzingers have just released a new track,
Gone West.
The single is taken from the deluxe edition of
their 2023 seventh album Some Of It Was True, which is due out on Friday, May 31 and
also includes another new song by the name of The Last One Killed Me.
Speaking about today’s newly-unveiled effort,
vocalist/guitarist Tom May explains that, “We recorded Gone West at the
same time as Some Of It Was True, and although we didn’t think it fit just
right on the album, it has some of my favorite guitar and vocal melodies.
“The lyrics are a tongue-in-cheek play on
accepting the truth of your own mortality. I always thought ‘goin’ west’ was an
interesting euphemism for dying; following the sun.”
