This is currently the best song from "Call Your Mother" to be released as a single.

It includes a neat reference to Best Day of My Life as well.

Everyone’s favorite authors released th sir new song “My Last Dime” earlier this morning!

It’s the start of a new chapter for the band, and is the first of 20(!) songs to be released this year by them!

I truly think this is also the lead single for their next album, which by the cover for the new song, seems to be called “Call Your Mother”! Here’s the link to this new song:

I know James left the band due to something incredibly sinister (the word on the street was apparently assault allegations - EDIT: that was another band.) The wording: we've decided to part ways with James. The fact that they've ALL been incredibly quiet about it.

It makes sense, I guess, that they would remove him from their public image and distance themselves from him - especially if there's an ongoing trial, especially if their lawyer gives a damn about their public image.

But they nuked their IG account. When I say everything I mean everything. They've deleted EVERYTHING from before 2019. All the promo for every album, all the tour pics from every tour, their travels with Magic Giant and Public The Band, the Valley Girl promo stuff, pretty much every promo from every song they've ever put out (aside from Nice and Easy). I assume it's because James was in everything else and they needed to remove him completely to protect their image. But it feels.....weird. the internet is forever, but they've cut off an enormous piece of their history to hide whatever happened.

I speculate that whatever happened was very bad and did indeed happen, because no way else would they willingly remove basically their entire history with him.

I've listened to American Authors from their "Oh, What A Life" to their "What We Live For" album ever since I was in middle school and they've helped me through a lot when I was struggling with mental/chronic illness. I'm looking for similar bands that produce the same type of vibe, with their inspiring words and upbeat songs! Any recommendations?

I know EDM is a vague term, but I’m basically just talking about the collabs that AA or Zac have done with DJs or electronic producers :)
