Today, NYC’s Charly Bliss return by signing to Lucky Number (Sunflower Bean, Dream Wife, Hinds, Sleigh Bells and more) for the World (excl America) and announcing their highly anticipated new album, Young Enough, with a video for its lead single “Capacity

Young Enough is available for pre-order now and due out May 10th via Lucky Number.

Charly Bliss’ Eva Hendricks says  “‘Capacity’ is a song about wanting to kill your inner people-pleaser, and Michelle beautifully presented a parallel concept, which warns of the perils of getting swept up in other people’s bullshit.”

Video director Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast, says: “Charly Bliss has always made great narrative music videos, so I wanted to stay in line with that tradition and take advantage of working with a band that are all such great, funny actors individually. I was watching a lot of heist movies at the time, and I thought a sort of post-heist fall out between friends was the perfect setting for this song about reaching your limit with someone. Eva had an amazing mood board she brought to the table with references to Paris, TexasFive Easy Pieces and Badlands so it was important for us to showcase a warm, 70’s colour palette.”
