Sadcore Sundays INTERVIEW: "Come to the Party" by Bears and You

“do you wanna come see my band?
put a gun in my hand
do you wanna come to the party?”

“Come to the Party” off of Bears and You’s “Yearbook” album is perfect for all of you social anxiety cuties and for when you can’t sleep ’cause you’re thinking about your taken-crush whom you wish could be with you. This electronic, ambient, dreamy song is about not fitting in with college’s party culture and feeling super self-conscious about it.
