If Rosie Tucker is not yet as well known in the northeast as on the west coast (where they’re based), they will assuredly be sooner than later. The album they dropped in March, Never Not Never Not Never Not, is one of the best indie albums of the year, filled with memorable melodies and lyrics. The single “Habit” is a standout. As Tucker explained it in an interview with The Gray Estates in March, “‘Habit’ is about a relationship that has fallen apart and is resting in a state of disrepair, the place where feelings hurt and it’s difficult to imagine anything ever changing. I wrote it all in one go, having been sitting on my porch listening to ‘camberwell’ by #1 Dads. I was inspired by the introspective spoken style of that tune but when I picked up the guitar what came out was angry and angular. Wolfy helped transform the song into a genuine rock n roll slammer.” 

The wild lemon-filled music video, directed by Julia Lebow of Guppy (another great Los Angeles band you should check out), further amplifies the song’s emotions. Watch it above.
