IAN SWEET shared an indie indie pop single called “f * ckthat”, along with a self-directed music video. Check out the upcoming clip, followed by the artist’s recently announced tour dates from Los Angeles in 2022.

Produced by the Canadian duo deadmen, “f * ckthat” is a sparkling four-way bop that finds IAN SWEET’s Jilian Medford singing in a muffled, squeaky coo. “You will have a busy tone / No, this is not a joke / I am not playing nicely,” she sings. “You call me once, call me twice / But the third time / I’ll change my number, change my life.”

“My phone is causing me a lot of anxiety! I really only like using it for taking videos and photos of my dog, ”Medford explained in a press release. “This song is about not wanting to answer calls anymore and wishing you could just throw it out the window and disassociate yourself from its harm / stress inducing technology.”

“f * ckthat” comes about six months after IAN SWEET released his latest album, March’s Show me how you disappear. Next spring, she will hit the road to accompany the LP on a North American tour. The trek takes place throughout the month of February, with stops in Phoenix, Denver, Nashville, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, and Seattle. It all ends on March 2 at the Echo in Los Angeles, with Bnny providing support along the way.
