Why This Album Matters:
Like a shaft of sunlight at the end of an interminable tunnel, the Australian trio s second, cautiously upbeat album is well-timed for 2021, as the world slowly emerges from lockdowns and contemplates the future. There s a certain ebullience to Middle Kids new songs, even when they grapple with thorny topics. Tilting away from the raucous cheer of their debut album, 2018 s
Lost Friends, bandmates Hannah Joy, Tim Fitz, and Harry Day take a more nuanced approach on this sophomore album, swaying between densely layered, shimmering anthems ( Questions, Run With You ) and pensive, wistful ballads ( Today We re the Greatest, Lost in Los Angeles ).

Middle Kids Release New Song Stacking Chairs Today We re The Greatest will be released March 19th.by TV News Desk
Today, Middle Kids release their new single Stacking Chairs , the fourth song from their upcoming album Today We re The Greatest. Stacking Chairs is a surging pop song that encapsulates the extraordinary intimacy and creativity that gave rise to Today We re The Greatest. It s a love song, but like all songs written by lead singer and songwriter Hannah Joy, it celebrates both beauty and darkness. Stacking Chairs juxtaposes tales from (band-mate and husband) Tim Fitz s child-hood in Papua New Guinea with their life together in marriage. Sonically, it reveals a band at full-flight in the studio, imbued with mellotron and great peels of electric guitar - it s one of the most immediate songs on an album full of astonishing hooks and textures.
