Shy Boys, the Kansas City quintet, return with their first new music since 2019's Dim The Light / Brick By Brick.

"Trash" looks inward at the consequences of exorbitant American consumerism — ruthless greed and literal mountains of waste serving as effigies to our apathy. And yet, their newly released single centers around a monster hook, a glittery pop nug that swirls underneath propulsive lyrics about transference and the endless cycle of binge/purge/repeat.

The band's Collin Rausch gives some added context to the song –

"Sunny cynicism has always been our thing, but we really do it big on “Trash”. There are also trash continents swirling in our oceans and communities and ecosystems being choked out and buried by over a century of unchecked American consumerism and greed, the price of which is being shipped to island nations of mostly brown people. It's just one more terrible reason of a thousand that makes it irresponsible to have too much fun these days."
