Katz had this to say It is classified in a press release: “We've been accused of being a singles band, and I wouldn't necessarily disagree. But we made it It is classified as an album for album's sake, united by a theme.”
“Above all, it asks a basic question, which is: am I a unique creative person forced to live in a capitalist hamster wheel where I have to pretend to be a respectable worker bee? Or am I actually a completely rude and rebellious weirdo who barely hides this fact under a flimsy veneer of normality that I wear in a futile attempt to fit into this crumbling empire?'
Cheekface's last album was 2022 Too much to ask. It included the songs “Pledge Drive” and “We Need a Bigger Dumpster”.
