Super American is back and with all the feels in their latest single, "Ugly Cryin' with My Dog." A tongue-in-cheek catharsis for emotional meltdowns, the track is a highlight from their forthcoming album, Gangster of Love, produced by Sam Guaiana.
A crossover between self-awareness and existential dread, "Ugly Cryin' with My Dog" wraps '90s alt-rock nostalgia, turbocharged riffs, and the duo's trademark smirking wit around an anthem for anyone who has ever sought comfort alongside their four-legged BFF. Super Americans have always been at their best in that tension between absurdism and raw sincerity. "Ugly Cryin' with My Dog" is no exception, with its bittersweet blend of humor, heartbreak, and undeniable hooks.
Having swapped Buffalo's blustery winters for LA's sun-baked sprawl, Super American's latest work sounds evolved but also refreshingly unspoiled. The pair embraces a punchier sound, meeting their pop-punk instincts with input wider than what came out of sprinklers, showing that growing up doesn't have to mean the end of what made you great.
"Ugly Cryin' with My Dog" is a vibe, a feeling, and a reminder that sometimes the only one who understands you is your dog. Watch out for Gangster of Love, and if this single is any sign, Super American is upping the ante in all the right places.
