“Love Thyself“ is a Fathead track. With his strong 1950s vibe, I felt that the production really loved going for the sound of four glue sniffers from Queens.” – Courtney

Courtney – “I’m consistently blown away by this New York filmmaker’s work. Elizabeth Acevedo. Great heavy handed style. It’s a gritty human surrealism. I am so stoked that we got her to make the film for this single.”

Celebrations for The Dandy Warhols’ 25th anniversary include a new album, ‘Why You So Crazy’ (Dine Alone Records), a single-shot 360° short film featuring Mad Men’s Jessica Paré for the single “Be Alright,” and a 2019 tour of Europe, the UK and North America, as well as exclusive goodies available via PledgeMusic. “The weirdest thing about it being our 25th anniversary is it doesn’t feel like 25 years. Feels like about six. Or five,” muses frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor.
I was in Cape Cod almost 15 yrs ago at a bar where this old guy Rocky King was playing piano and singing. He told jokes too. I have a very clear image of his hands playing this song. It was so cool it left an impression strong enough that I finally checked YouTube and of course here he is playing it in 2009 at that same bar.
He really is such an amazing pianist. This style is very very cool.
