Overview
- Being Dead announced a deal with indie label Polyvinyl and released two new tracks titled "Man or Myth" and "Aquarium."
- "Man or Myth" is described by the band as an ode to canoeist Marc Ornstein and "Aquarium" sketches a workplace romance involving a dolphin.
- Both songs were produced by long-time collaborator John Congleton, continuing the sonic link to the band’s 2024 album Eels.
- Each single was issued with a music video directed by the band’s Falcon Bitch, keeping the group’s visuals tightly controlled in-house.
- The band framed the Polyvinyl signing with tongue-in-cheek ambitions about rock stardom, and the deal could give them label support for promotion, touring, and future releases following their two-year gap.
