36? Unveils Latest Single 'i don't want to go out tonight'

36? has unveiled their latest single, “i don’t want to go out tonight”. A tune for the socially anxious, the new track can now be streamed on most services.

Inspired by true events at the expense of social anxiety, this avant-pop tune from sleek rockers 36? is a relatable anthem for homebodies everywhere. With crooner-like background vocals, witty lyrics, and a fuzzy guitar solo, the new track serves as a blissfully quirky theme song written as a coping mechanism for those who struggle with autism. Possessing jangle-pop sensibilities, the track intertwines old-fashioned sonic blueprints just as equally as it lends its influences to modern artists like Animal Collective, Bleachers, and MGMT.

Taylor Cochrane, the main figure behind 36?, speaks in greater depth about the inspiration behind the new song:

“I don’t want to go out tonight” is a rare song for me, in that I wrote it over a series of months. The chorus came all at once in my head at first. It came to me on a bike ride to the nearby convenience store to get ice cream after Laura and I had decided once again to stay home and watch TV instead of going out that night. Later the verses came to me, again all at once as I drove alone to a friend's birthday party brimming with social anxiety. The song is a celebration of the feeling associated with choosing to avoid that really awesome party and opt for something a little more personal and low-key in the comfort of your own home.”
