While working on songs for the forthcoming deadCAT LP, Transientualism, due out this fall via Psych Army, vocalist Britt Teusink found time to put together a solo number, titled “Get Tough.” Stylistically speaking, the song is a bit of a departure from “Meat,” which premiered back in February, as it’s all composed and executed using just one keyboard. And even though the song’s halcyon qualities don’t exactly qualify as “tough,” Teusink explains that it’s all about keeping your chin up. “‘Get Tough’ is about maintaining positive vibes everyday,” he explains. “Everyone has bad shit going on in their lives. Life still goes on. There’s no sense in getting down on yourself for things you can’t control. I struggle with this type shit every day - blow dope smoke in deaths face.”
