Born Yesterday by Gladie

Artist Biography For Gladie

Gladie Is The Indie Rock Outfit Led By Augusta Koch Who Grew Up In The Poconos And Moved To Philadelphia After High School Fronting The Beloved Local Punk Trio Cayetana Between 2011 To 2019. On The First Gladie Album 2020’s Safe Sins Koch Unpacked The Feelings Of Grief And Isolation That Resulted From The Group’s Dissolution over Introspective Lo-Fi Arrangements. It Followed The 2018 Everyone Is Taking But You EP A Collaboration With Multi-Instrumentalist Matt Schimellfenig To Whom Koch Is Now Engaged. But The Pandemic Brought Even More Big Shifts Koch Was Diagnosed With An Autoimmune Disease And She Quit Alcohol. With A Five-Piece Lineup That Also Includes Guitarist Pat Conaboy Bassist Dennis Mishko And Drummer Miles Ziskind She Was Able To Explore The Well Of Feeling That Had Suddenly Opened Up “The Way I Feel I Could Fill The Ocean/ When The Wave Comes Crashing In It Said I’m Not A Fixed Thing ” She Sings On ‘Born Yesterday’ An Early Single From Their Sophomore Album Don’t Know What You’re In Until You’re Out Which Is Out Today. The Result Is Their Most Dynamic And Expressive Record To Date Fuelled As Much By Anxiety And Fear As It Is By Love And A Rejuvenated Sense Of Self. At The End Of A Never-Ending Cycle Standing At The Precipice Of Change Koch Seems To Find Her Grounding.

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Born Yesterday

Gladie’s “Born Yesterday“ Follows Lead Single “Nothing“ From Their Studio Album Don’t Know What You’re In Until You’re Out. In A Note On Bandcamp Gladie’s Augusta Koch Wrote “HELLO!!! Really Excited And Nervous To Finally Release “Born Yesterday” Today The Last Song We’re Sharing Before The Entire Record Comes Out. This Song In Particular Means An Incredible Amount To Me. I Wrote This About 8 Months Into Reevaluating My Life’s Most Complicated Relationship – Alcohol You Very Fun But Evil Little Shit . While There Were Many Joys & Victories In Those Early Days Of Change I Was Also Completely Overwhelmed By The Amount Of Feelings Pouring In. I Used To Think Of Myself As Someone Who Was Very In Touch With Their Emotions And Personhood But This Transition Proved Me Wrong. It Felt And Still Feels Isolating Lonely Intense And Shaky But Also On My Good Days It Feels Like A Homecoming. I’m Seeing Myself Again The Ugly Parts And Even The Beautiful Ones Too. I Survived This Far By Numbing Myself And Though There Are Times When It Deeply Pains Me That I Did That I Have A New Grasp And Empathy For People’s Ability To Change. This World Feels Beyond Fucked I’m Sure I’m Not Alone In My Continued Search For Solid Ground. I Kept Returning To This Notion Of How We View Each Other And Ourselves As “fixed Things”. There Can Feel Rigidity To Our Identities But I Don’t Think That’s True If We Don’t Want It To Be. Matt And I Made This Music Video Of My Oldest And Dearest Friend Siri Rollerskating Around Philly. I Really Wanted To Capture The Beauty Of Learning Something New In The Sunrise Something Drinking Didn’t Really Allow Me To See We Met In My Freshman Year Of High School And Boy Have We Seen Each Other Through Some Huge Life Changes. She Was My First Creative Friend And Has Been A Huge Source Of Motivation And Inspiration For Me For As Long As I’ve Known Her. I Hope This Song Resonates With You. Thanks Again For Supporting Our Band It Truly Means So Much To Us. Thank You
