Will Epstein Experiences ‘Befuddlement’ & ‘Joy’ On New Single ‘Dishwasher’

Will Epstein‘s new album, Yeah, mostly, is out on Friday, January 9, via Fat Possum. Today, the Woodstock, New York-based singer-songwriter shared the final advance single off the record, “Dishwasher.”

Joining previous Yeah, mostly singles “Brideshead Revisited Revisited” and “That’ll Be Me,” “Dishwasher” is a clever examination of something most people are familiar with, but maybe not as familiar as Epstein has become with his dishwasher. The composer further detailed the track:

“It was always glaring at me, taunting me, and I couldn’t get away from this feeling that I was living my life on its terms instead of the other way around. For months, every time I ran the dishwasher, I would be embroiled in utter befuddlement that it was time to stick the little pod in its hole and send my porcelain through the paces yet again. Didn’t I just do this? The whole thing was causing a level of distress that my partner found both amusing and disconcerting and I myself started to wonder, is there something more going on here? Was it the passing of time that I couldn’t accept? Or the endless cleaning cycles, compulsively correct? It’s a mystery that still haunts me but nevertheless, every time I open a freshly run machine, I’m filled with boundless joy that I can choose any plate I want, any bowl I want, any knife I want.”

“Dishwasher” boasts a brooding, blues-tinged groove as Epstein explores the aforementioned “befuddlement” and “joy” he experienced pondering his dishwasher. Listen below:
