The arc of the journey, like any good Spirited Away or Neverending Story, lands its wide-traveled protagonist right back at home before bedtime. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eGrumpy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, like many great hero tricksters before him, has always been a project of juxtaposition: upbeat radio-ready hits whose buoyant, goofy hooks belie the dark thoughts they describe. Much of this, Schmitt acknowledges, owes its due to the matter-of-fact morbidity of the trans experience in America. It’s from these experiences—personal, romantic, political, and existential—that the tale of ‘Unfindable Ring’ unfolds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmbition and play have always defined the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eGrumpy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sound. Late last year, the Fader praised their “demented, hooky” EP, “Piebald,” whose innovative fuzz-pop confections earned them coverage in NPR and the New York Times. Stereogum heralded them as “wonderfully weird,” and Paste designated them “the best of what’s next.”” Through boisterous collaborations with the likes of Sidney Gish and Claire Rousay, they’ve effortlessly ingratiated themselves with the titans of DIY, and, more recently, Schmitt has become an unlikely favored collaborator of chart-topping country giant Zach Bryan, who named his new record––which prominently features Schmitt’s harmonies–– conspicuously, ‘With Heaven On Top.’\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eGrumpy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Heaven Schmitt is joined by Anya Good, Ellie Long (Kid Lake), Austin Arnold, Diego Clare (D.A. Crimson), and Lane Rodgers, who each contribute to every step of the process—engineering and recording, mixing, drafting artwork, producing, and making music videos. A kind of interdisciplinary thieves’ guild, the project, while once Schmitt’s solo eponym, is a labor of communal love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1.
