Austin, Texas four-piece Good Looks are releasing a new album, He lived here for a while, out June 7 via Keeled Scales. Now they've shared his second single, “Self-destructor,” via a music video. They also announced some new tour dates. Check out the song and dates below.
A press release describes the song's themes in more detail: “The track is sort of a breakup song, about frontman Tyler Jordan breaking up with a former bandmate, about where they come from and where they're going before they finally decide to part ways. “I didn't like your ideas / I like you just fine,” Jordan sings, expressing the frustration that comes when you can't overcome creative differences despite caring about them as a person.
Previously, the band shared their first single, “If It's Gone,” which was one of the songs of the week.
He lived here for a while is the band's second album and the follow-up to 2022 Difficult year.
The album was affected by an accident suffered by guitarist Jake Ames shortly after the band's record show in the city. Difficult yearwhen he was hit by a car outside the venue and ended up in hospital with a fractured skull and tail, along with short-term memory problems.
“We were in the hospital with him every day,” frontman Tyler Jordan says in a press release. “It wasn't clear how bad it was going to be for Jake. We had no idea how this traumatic brain injury would affect him until the swelling went down. We even wondered if we would ever play music together again.”
Fortunately, Ames made a full recovery and, along with drummer Phil Dunne and bassist Robert Cherry, began recording He lived here for a while on Texas' Dandy Sounds with producer/engineer Dan Duszynski (of Loma and Cross Record). Harrison Anderson has since joined the band as their new bass player.
