Doesn’t it feel like we’ve been waiting for something good to happen for a while? Crobot feel it, and they’ve channeled that into a barnburner, party-starting soundtrack of a song called “Better Times” from their forthcoming Feel This album.
The band simply lets the music do the talking where their video is concerned, shooting a studio performance of the song that just begs you to turn the speakers up. “No need to search any further, #Beardos! Better Times are here to stay,” says frontman Brandon Yeagley. “You know we wouldn’t have it any other way. Buckle up and strap it down because Crobot is comin’ back to town. And with smiles on our faces, we’ve got all the right grooves that hit in all the right places. So, grab your junk – food that is – and tune into this special sneak preview of the studio, kids! See you out there this spring for some ass shakin, ear smackin’ thangs! Ca-caaaaawwwww!”
Get a closer look at the video and the lyrics below.
Crobot, “Better Times” Lyrics (Per AZLyrics)
Dust off your shoes get ready to go
There ain’t another thing you need to know
They’re getting ready to start the show
The clock keeps tickin’ but it must be slowI’ve been outta my mind
Waiting for better times
We’re all just standing in line
Waiting for better times
Better times, yeahAnd I don’t care whatever the cost
I gotta make up for what I lost
And I’ve been sittin’ on my hands too long
And when they’re shakin’ nuthin’s wrongI’ve been outta my mind
Waiting for better times
We’re all just standing in line
Waiting for better times, yeahCan you tell me
Where I lost it?
Maybe that’s where I’ll find itCan you tell me
Where I lost it?
Maybe that’s where I’ll find itI’ve been outta my mind
Waiting for better times
We’re all just standing in line
Waiting for better times, yeah
Better times
Better times
Crobot, “Better Times”
Meanwhile, the other big news is that Crobot now have a release date secured for the Feel This album, with Mascot Records / Mascot Label Group bringing it to the mases on June 3.
“This is the record we’ve been wanting to do ever since we started. We’ve always thought of ourselves as a live act,” says Yeagley. “When Jay Ruston described his process of recording, we were beyond excited about getting in and getting our hands dirty. It involved performing live as a unit and finishing all instruments on a song before moving on to the next. We recorded 16 songs in 21 days, which is a feat in itself.”
Of the perseverance that went into the record, the musician adds, “Through constant struggles, we learn more what it’s like to be human. Our shortcomings and strengths alike make us a unique species. Feel This very well may point to our biggest strength of all, our ability to feel emotion (for better or worse).”
