A Drive to the Psychos: new music by FI/SHE/S

FISHES Reader Find

By FISHES in New Music on Saturday 2 March 2013

We are used to tell the story of this song right before singing it live – that awkward moment when you say, ‘The next song is about a lonely-depressed wife driving on the road of happiness straight to a private psychiatric hospital’.
