Above: the new Mecca Normal single is "Water in a Bucket.
Mecca Normal set social and political conundrums to punk rock rhythms, creating sidewalk operas of the soul. Comprised of Jean Smith (vocals) and David Lester (electric guitar), the dynamite Vancouver, B.C. duo have released scads of top albums that borrow down into your psyche. Water Cuts My Hands [KLP008], their third album from 1991, is being reissued next month on K. A pre-release digital single is out today, "Water in a Bucket."
About "Water in a Bucket" singer Jean Smith says "In a semi-imaginary scenario, services enjoyed by first world citizens are systemically reduced, leaving them to wonder what exactly happened to the American Dream."
