about

LIBRARIANS WITH HICKEYS return to Big Stir Records, adding another chapter in their ongoing catalog with the double A-sided single “I Can’t Stop Thinking About You” b/w “Stumbling Down Memory Lane”. The all-new two-tune combo is out Saturday, August 14 and up for preorder at bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com now. It's the first new music from the rising stars of both the Akron, OH music scene and the global pop-rock scene at large since their acclaimed debut LONG OVERDUE in 2020, and a sure sign that the band is ready to hit the stage for the first time since that album's pandemic-era release, with new material at the ready for its keenly awaited followup.

“I Can’t Stop” kicks off with a shout and the ringing twin guitar attack of MIKE CROOKER and RAY CARMEN. Carmen leads the listener through a romp via his day planner as he explains the various way in which he's really missing that certain someone. While on the surface it’s about someone missing their partner, underneath it’s really about the isolation of the past two years and not being able to see friends, loved ones, and band mates during the pandemic.

The all-new flip side “Stumbling Down Memory Lane” shifts gears with a piano and strings intro, leading into a ballad about the uncertainty of getting older in a troubled world, missing musical icons who are no longer with us, and friendships torn apart by the politics of the last four years. The features the band's trademark lush harmonies – and, if you squint hard enough, you can also dance to the bass (ANDREW WILCO) and drum (ROB CROSSLEY) groove of the chorus!

The double A-side is a worthy successor to the debut record, which took the global pop scene by storm with rave reviews and robust worldwide airplay... all without the LIBRARIANS being able to support it onstage. But with a date on the books for the August 21 PORCHROKR Festival, that's soon to change. The band was a beloved live act before the album saw release, and with the new single they're bound to show that they're not just shaking off the rust, but moving forward creatively. They may all be old enough to know better, they still play way too loud for the local library’s summer reading club party...
