WFPK Song of the Day: Shovels & Rope "Piranhanana"

Shovels & Rope , the dynamic husband and wife duo of Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent, has released their new track “ Piranhanana ,” off their forthcoming album, Something Is Working Up Above My Head. The new project will be released September 6th on Dualtone Records .

The driving, minimalist rock song tells the story of a boy who finds some kind of acceptance growing up in a brothel-type environment. Meanwhile, his sister reluctantly copes with her involvement in the business that takes place inside the residence.

Cary and Michael put it this way: “ Piranhanana is a toothy summer bop that rides you thru a house of mirrors on the shoulders of a boy meditating his way thru some adult scenery while his sister struggles to find her zen .”

WFPK is proud to present Shovels & Rope at Headliners Music Hall on October 1.
