Miranda and the Beat is excited to announce the release of their highly anticipated new album, Can’t Take It (Ernest Jenning Record Co./Khannibalism) out October 25 on in North America and Wild Honey in Europe (pre-order). Today the band is sharing the album’s title track along with its accompanying music video. The video which premiered today at The Alternative, was directed Miranda’s childhood friend, Sara Mardon, and was shot at Pilates Punx studio in Los Angeles on New Year’s Day.
On the new track and video, Miranda Zipse shares:
“While recording the album at Moon Studios in Germany, King Khan played us some old King Khan and BBQ Show demos, including a skeleton voice memo with the phrase ‘Can’t Take It.’ The music came together effortlessly, and by the end of the day, we were all shouting ‘Can’t Take It’ at the top of our lungs. The video was easy for us to shoot because I was genuinely hungover from our NYE party with Black Lips. I definitely felt like I ‘couldn’t take it’ while doing 12 hours of Pilates.”
The release of “Can’t Take It” follows the band’s first single from the album, “Earthquake Water” out now. On the track, Miranda Zipse dives into a personal and humorous childhood anecdote about her father’s emergency preparedness. “Growing up, my father hid ‘earthquake supplies’ in the garage, including a jug of vodka disguised as water. As a kid, I found this out the hard way, creating the term ‘earthquake water’—a family joke that still lives on.”
