CUSP SHARE NEW SINGLE "OH MAN"

Posted on September 17th, 2025

Cusp are sharing their bright, snappy new single “Oh Man,” the second from their forthcoming new album What I Want Doesn’t Want Me Back, out October 17th via Exploding In Sound Records. The song follows lead single “Follow Along”–which saw press support from Pitchfork (‘Selects’), Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, and more–and arrives alongside a playful video created by the band’s own Jen Bender (vocals, guitar) and Gaelen Bates (guitar).

“Like ‘Follow Along,’ ‘Oh Man’ is a caricature of my (very) late 20s. It captures a heightened and nagging need to be ‘accomplished,’ to pursue the Dream, and to be taken just seriously enough,” explains Jen Bender. “The video is a snapshot of all of us at this time of life: playing music together, enjoying each others’ company, and speeding along into the unknown. There is also a miraculous third and final act.”

What I Want Doesn’t Want Me Back is now available for pre-order, and the band have announced a hometown Chicago record release show at Lincoln Hall on October 25th with Pictoria Vark and Tenci.
