Say Sue Me sing to the ocean on new single “At The End Of The Road”

Busan’s resident surf rockers offer swayable sadness on their newest track.

February 19, 2019

Say Sue Me's music evokes the gauzy rays and ebbing tides of their hometown, Busan, South Korea. Since their formal debut in 2017, the band has found quite a global following through their earnest spin on surf rock. Their new single "At The End of The Road," premiering today on The FADER, is (at least upon first listen) a particularly chipper addition to that catalog. But beneath that candy-lacquered surface lies a bleak acknowledgement of humanity's blatant disregard for the environment.

"When I feel like I've lost my way or everything is difficult, I remind myself of someone who comforts me with existence itself," wrote frontwoman Sumi Choi regarding the single. "I think that the sea is like that and it seems like a generous person who only gives it all. It gives us life, gives us a place to rest and play, and gives everything it has, but it seems like we only know how to dirty and ruin it."

The band is punctuating the song's message with an accompanying video of a polluted beach. Check it out, alongside the band's upcoming tour dates (which include stops at SXSW) below. "At The End Of The Road" is formally out March 8th via Damnably / Electric Muse.
