Liquid Mike Share New Single “Inanimate Object”

Liquid Mike, the rock ‘n’ roll band led by Mike Maple from Marquette, Michigan, have shared a new single called “Inanimate Object,” according to a report from Stereogum. The track arrives with a music video directed by Bob Sweeney.

A power-pop song about death

Stereogum describes “Inanimate Object” as a giddy, hooky, fuzzed-out power-pop rave-up. Its subject, the outlet notes, is what happens to a person after they die. The publication’s verdict is enthusiastic, saying the song “rocks so hard.”

Recent releases

The new single follows the band’s most recent album, Hell Is An Airport, which came out a little more than a year ago. Liquid Mike also put out a one-off single, “Drowning Machine,” in May. “Inanimate Object” is therefore the third release from the group in recent months, counting the album’s lead-up period loosely only by the timeline given: an album a little over a year back, a standalone single in May, and now this new track.

Stereogum points out that the band’s release pace has changed over time. In their earlier days, when they were working in what the outlet calls remote obscurity, Liquid Mike quickly put out a whole series of sharp records. Now that they are active on the touring circuit, new material does not arrive quite as quickly, though the outlet says each new song can be counted on to hit hard.

On tour with Oso Oso

Liquid Mike are currently on the road with Oso Oso. The source text does not list dates or locations for the tour, so fans interested in attending should check the bands’ official channels for details.

The video for “Inanimate Object” is available to watch through Stereogum’s original post. Stereogum frames the band as one that has kept up both energy and quality across its catalog, and presents the new single as another example of that consistency.
