Shortly after Bear Hands surprised fans with “Intrusive Thoughts,” the group’s first single in five years, they’ve announced a new album, The Key to What. To celebrate the new era of the band, the Brooklyn-bred group have shared “Floor It,” alongside a cinematic visual. The track is a buoyant synth-pop number full of sugary-sweet melodies and crunching drums that give the song a punch.
“‘Floor It’ is the oldest song on our new record and almost appeared on our last record, Fake Tunes, but we didn’t finish it in time,” the band shares. “Now it’s done and we like it so much we made it the first track on The Key to What. The hook is about taking road trips with our cat Billy. He would climb all over the interior and wedge himself in the weirdest places, like under the brake pedal (not recommended). It’s one of two road songs on our new record, so roll down the windows and turn it up real loud!”
The Key to What will arrive on October 19. Check out the clip for “Floor It” below.
