Set Your Goals Launch Mutiny Anniversary Tour Alongside Second Comeback Single Big Couch
Set Your Goals released their second comeback single titled “Big Couch” along with an accompanying music video, coinciding with the launch of their 20 Years Of Mutiny! Tour in Baltimore. The track follows July’s release of “Accelerate,” marking the band’s first new music since 2014.
Here is the kicker: both tracks are featured on a new 7-inch release through In Bloom, with the initial pressing completely sold out. A tour-exclusive variant limited to 25 copies per show will remain available during the upcoming dates.
The Bottom Line
- The Release: “Big Couch” serves as the b-side to the 7-inch single shared with July’s track “Accelerate.”
- The Tour: The band kicked off their 20 Years Of Mutiny! Tour tonight at Baltimore SoundStage.
- The Availability: The initial pressing is sold out, but a tour-exclusive variant limited to 25 copies per show is on sale.
Band Members Detail the Emotional Weight and Communal Creation of Big Couch
The band described their latest release as a logical progression in their songwriting. They shared that the track stands as an emotional outlier:
“This song feels like the logical next step in the progression of our songwriting as a band. Stylistically, it is a bit of an outlier with a heavier dose of emotional content, which is also what makes it so special to us.”
The lyrics focus on aging and the realization of becoming a role model for younger generations. The band noted that they grapple with the significance of their actions and strive not to let younger listeners down.
The recording process involved a communal effort. The audio features the sounds of children belonging to the band members and their producer, Scott. Friends, including the producer’s wife Ashley, also lent their vocals to the final chorus.
